little corella

This is the more common Corella around Rockingham and Safety Bay, WA

Reminded me of a Pantomime Character from my childhood when granny used to take us to the theatre at Christmas time.......a very pleasant experience most of the time LOl but not when the wicked witch turned up...........hope you all get a smile!

The only parrot species I saw that day .... and where was he but in the shade!!!! We were now out of the swamp and making our way towards the car park.

How neatly they positioned themselves to fit into that shadow from the tree! I'm sure they knew I wanted to take a picture of them!! We've got a Little Corella there with Galah. I think that may be the first time I got a picture with both of them together.

On top of a dead tree, way out in the middle of the water, were two Little Corellas. Looks like they're up to mischief to me LOL

This was part of the group of Little Corellas we found on the outskirts of Peterborough on our way to Gluepot. As I started taking pictures, the one in the lead took off. The second suddenly noticed and off he went as well, obviously not wanting to be left behind!! Or maybe not trusting who...

We didn't have to move far for in the very next tree was this pretty Little Corella. I could see this was going to be one of those neck-breaking sessions, staring up into tall trees!

We were back at the homestead now, evening coming with low sun and long shadows. A Little Corella was feeding in the yard. Australian birds are really clever at keeping out of the sun LOL

The next morning early breakfast in the beer garden, cases packed ready to decamp to the cabin at Bowra, for there was now a room for me too. Just before we turned off towards the Bowra road we came across a Little Corella feeding on the weed seeds on the verge.

There really was quite an assortment of species using this dam. Here's a Little Corella, wasn't expecting that, as I was looking for waders LOL

One of the main objects for visiting Tygum, was to see the large number of Corellas there. This was just one of them! Pretty birds, aren't they.

Gotta love the "expression" on these guys. All puppy-eyes and fake innocence :-O "Who? Me?Nooo! I would never make all that noise. I'm just an innocent little bird!"

A family was setting up for a wedding on a patch of lawn between two ponds and some woodland areas. A lovely setting, but just then a massive flock of Little Corellas landed raucously in one of the woodlands and the fruit bats (a recent survey had counted something like 15000 of them there) were...

This is the smallest of our whitish Cockatoos,found sometimes in huge flocks of thousands and can be very destructive to man made crops

There was a small flock present in Enmore Park in the early morning. They are attractive but destructive!!

One of our white Cockatoos,the Little Corella is common throughout its range and a pair visits us on our place regularly.

Always a flock of these alongside the road on the way to Sandy Camp Rd wetlands

Sue caught this group in a eucalyptus tree.
