Hi Margaret,
Some lovely images to keep me going, although I wish I was observing them 'live'. I'm particularly interested in your observations from last week about the cockatoos (is that what they are?) that seemed to be showing in an interest - I've never observed this over the past 3 years so any speculation what this might be about? Just inquisitiveness or something more 'sinister'?
Can't wait to upload some images, but Bangalore is a long way from home. However, I did note that on my work laptop I've some very old images (for whose quality I apologize) back from when I first started observing the birds. The first is from November 2006 when I estimate the birds were about 48 days old, so just before they fledged I guess. This is twins from the year before Aussie was born. They're a magnificent pair who totally captivated me and inspired me to start learning about them and to reconnect with my passion for photography. It's kinda ironic that wanting to take 'better' and more shots you have an excuse to go and invest in better equipment and then it's a perfect excuse to spend more time at the location because you have to justify all this investment! At this time the birds hadn't fledged, and both mum and dad were feeding them
