I'm the King of the Castle

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all

I'm the King of the Castle ... well for a short while anyway!

I live in an area surrounded by Norfolk Pine trees, very tall trees and much favoured by the birds
I had noticed this cockatoo showing a likening for the topmost bit of several local trees while it sqwarked and showed off its location to its mates. Sadly for the cockatoo, it also drew the attention of a 'thugby-team' of Noisy Miners who dive bombed the cocky until it gave up and departed - to another tree about 200m away

1)- Hey- this looks okay - now to settle in for a while

typical exif- Panny FZ-200; 1/1000s x F4,0; ISO-100; lens at 24x zoom / 600mm FFequiv -- then heavily cropped

2)- Where are my mates to see what I'm up to?


3)- Hey - gimme a break! I just got settled


4)- Hey - Leave me alone ya bugga


5)- Ah shoot - I'll try another joint


As always, feedback welcome

Excellent shots. I like #3 as well.

Yes, a great photo story. Makes you wonder what goes on in the bird world.

Good photos, well exposed for sky shots...

Good story Phil, and nice shots. Excellent timing on the first one.
