Long-billed Corella flying to roost.
One of our beloved Aussie parrots, the Long-billed Corella photograped as it came to roos in its tree one evening. The roost and nests are near a major local shopping center along a busy road. There are dozens of tall eucalypts that offer the necessary hollows to accommodate Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Galah, this Corella and the Little Corella, Red-rumped Parrot, Scaly-breasted and Rainbow Lorikeet, Pardalote and even Aust. Wood Duck, which I have seen fly into a tree hollow at eye level!
Hope you like this. .
