AUSTRALIA DAY IS FOR THE BIRDS THIS YEAR

Wet weather and subsequent flooding has put the kybosh on many Australia Day celebrations around the country, including here on the Sunshine Coast @ Rainy Coast but I have seen examples of these two Aussie birds today so decided they could star in this post.  The sulphur crested cockatoo is shy and favours high trees so is more difficult to get a decent shot of but the magpie obliges and this particular one is a bit of a poser as you can see.
