AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Such beautiful birds. Like something out of Dr. Doolittle for me.

That is such a neat photo and would be neat to see on my own verandah, if I had one! The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the photo was, "Shoo, Cockatoo!"

What a fun shot. I love the way you captured a group like that all doing different things. Beautiful birds.

There is always a "pecking" order isn't there? You really get to appreciate bird when you take the time to watch the interaction between bird... Lovely photo and poem for Nature Notes... Michelle
