Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo in flight

Ian Stehbens, on May 19, 2007, said:

Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos were feeding on Casuarina seed. Because their juvenile offspring were constantly squawking (what a rukus) I was drawn off the path to watch. By finding a reasonable hide, I was able to capture them in flight as occasional bushwalkers or returning rock fishermen noisily walked the track. This bushland is located on a lighthouse reserve on Burrewarra Point, south of Batemans Bay, New South Wales.

Thank you for appreciating this photo - it did take a bit of stalking and sitting still in the grass in the vicinity of the trees in which they were feeding...and then it is a bit of persistence until you find that you are pointing the camera in the right direction! But it paid off.
