Black Cockatoos

Had a magical experience down at Point Cartright last week when the Yellow Tailed Blacks came in for their seasonal degustation meal  on the Banksia nuts. I heard them but couldn't get into the bush where they were calling , and then found one of them near a path by the river. As I sat underneath the tree and listened to the cute noises they make I realised I was looking at a pair of them. Even better, after a few minutes their buddies started calling to find out where they were. They waited a good few minutes and gorged themselves a bit more ( bombarding me with cones all the while) and then gave up their location to their mates.  I just stayed where I was right underneath them and the rest of the family swooped in with noisy cries...... I must have had a dozen there in one little glade.....  didn't get many shots that are useable due to the dense canopy but the experience was awesome

And to add to the best day ever I had just come from the path around the open sea side and been watching whales breaching and splashing for half an hour....what a wonderful world we are privileged to share with them

Every day I am alive and able to see such treasures I give thanks to the universe !!
