Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo ~ Calyptorhynchus funereus
a group of these lobbed up at lunch time and muttered away outside the house.
I wandered out and grabbed a few photos before they eventually flew off.
This is right outside our house about 10 metres from it

That is one sweet image of a beautiful teal, Mike! You're whetting my appetite for ducks (I'm impatiently waiting).

That's another beauty Tom!
