'Merry Christmas'

'Merry Christmas'

Hi all, I would like to wish all at BF a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The photo goes into no category as it is a 'Hybrid' of a S/Crested Cockatoo X L/Billed Corella. I first found this beauty at Eynesbury in August last year and lost all of my images, except one for ID, due to a glitch but I was lucky enough to find it again in July of this year. To say the least, it caused a furore amongst the leading birders around here, but they agreed that it was a 'Hybrid' but not many are found in the wild. (I believe that a cross was tried in captivity).
In my wanderingss at Eynesbury I came across it again in September but on that occasion I found two, have never uploaded as not sure where to? I believe that they are still going well as I sighted this one again last Friday when I was checking out the Freckled Ducks (they have increased their numbers from 1 to 14, all safe from the duck season :))
I do hope that you all enjoy!
