Cockies

We have a flock of cockatoos that roost in the trees at the rear of our property, around the creek. Each evening they fly in squawking at dusk (sorry not a good time for photos) and this particular day while we were having bbq dinner outside in the heat, they sat in some very interesting places. This row of pine trees is behind the neighbour's place.

Then they come to our ponds to have a drink and squawk and talk and head off to the tops of the trees to roost. There would be more than 50, and the morning is greeted by them in full voice. Luckily I have learned to sleep through their early morning wake up call.

I took this photo on 12th Feb, fire danger subsided, but still smokey from the fires.
