Tale of a Tail


You don't need to tell me that this is not the greatest photo of a black cockatoo.  It does capture the colour of his/her tail though. I did complain about them not cooperating with me and letting me photograph their tails in this post.  So, on a later visit to Balgal Beach I stalked them while they were feeding in a casurina tree and getting up to all sorts of mischief at the same time.  The cockatoos that is, not me.  This was the best tail photo I snapped.
You can see why any photography enthusiast would want to capture that.  I'll keep trying to do better though.

  1. We get the black cockatoos with the yellow tail around here (as well as millions of sulphur crested). When we were in the Snowy Mountains we saw the red tailed black cockatoos as well as Gang Gang Cockatoos. Very tricky to photograph, so I'd say that's a great capture you've got there.
