Howdy everyone
Some lovely photos last week - I hope everyone survived the heat. Friday was horrendous for NSW residents, I have never felt anything like that heat and was very grateful for my air conditioner!
This week lets go with the theme of 'crests'. Show me your crest-themed photos.
I'll start off with those young Gang Gangs

My lordy, people, these photos are rippers. I was looking down at the keyboard and suddenly looked up to be CONFRONTED by the Corella above which on my wide screen made him a whopper.
Little Corella, more Galahs (baby harassing parents for food) and a Red Tailed Black Cockatoo.
