black cockatoo

Walking the dogs at LBG this morning, we came across a flock of about 30+ Black Cockatoos. Unfortunately I didn’t get great shots of them, but here’s a few samples.

As wonderful as it would be if these were Carnaby’s, these are Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos

All these blacks look the same to me. (Can I say that? 🙂 )

If you don’t get f2.8 lenses with your upgrade then I suspect a lot of potential in your upgrade will be wasted.

Thanks for that, can you offer more advice pleased, I’m genuinely interested to learn

I’m upgrading my camera in the next month or two, (Canon 450D to Canon 60D,) will also be looking at new lenses.

We call these the “Rainbirds”, because when we hear them fly over us, it rains shortly afterwards.

Many thanks all, I’m flattered.

So prepared to be bombarded with images! (Sorry Johnboy!)

I love your photographs, Ben_Dover! I wish these were my best ones, I’d be so happy. (Mind you, I only have my smart phone…)

Gorgeous! And thanks for posting the pics.
