Cacatua galerita. These guys haven't been around for awhile, so I couldn't resist a few more pics this afternoon.

Nice work Alan. The 300mm has not let you down.

The middle pic looks 1/2 a stop darker than the rest.

Very nice set!! Have you thought about flipping the right hand pic to "frame" the middle one? These are such cheeky buggers.... love the way the fly like crazy dudes and hang upside down, they're like naughty kids!

Nice Alan and they look like they have been through some rain as they are very clean and spruced up.

Thanks Charles - is it possible to love a lens too much? 1/2 stop you say? I bow to your experience in these matters.

Thanks Kath. I did flip it to get the two sticks as mirror images.

Cheers Jim. Yes they are very clean. We haven't had any rain up here.

Cheers
