Yellow tailed Black Cockatoo - Calyptorhynchus funereus

[Alan]

These guys drive me crazy. They arrive unexpectedly and noisily, in horribly light - perching on the highest branches of an exotic tree - and then fly off as soon as they see me with a camera. . But it's my only photo, so far.

Cheers

Haha, yeah that sums them up pretty well! Still a nice shot under trying conditions...

Aww he looks a little worse for wear. Nice piccy under the circumstances, I think you need a cherry picker, with a hide in the bucket - guaranteed success!

I feel your pain.

the dud light has given this quite an arty feel to this

wonder how it would look in B/w?

Thanks guys - good idea Stephen - when all else fails, convert to B&W and call it art

[avkomp]

yep, thats it. good work

I was thinking BW would suit this shot.

I prefer the BW in this case, definitely more arty imho.

well done
