Sulphur crested cockatoo doing some home renovations.
An incredibly loud Bird that I usually curse on behalf of my ear drums but I like the sound of their DIY.

Hi Harry...

Thanks for the comment. When you're in search of sunlight, it helps to live in Arizona. :-D

They're my favourite birds. So full of personality!

Beautiful bird for sure. That's the proverbial "spitting chips"  :p

So very nice scenic photos showing off beautiful birds

Another Chestnut-headed bee-eater taken at 10am the following day.

Beautiful birds in a lovely setting. Particularly like the first one, but both are very nice.

Very beautiful, Charlie!

Thank you, shalu. Much appreciated. I'm a long time photographer, but new to bird photography. I developed an interest on a visit to the wilds of Rajasthan in February where these were the first two bird two images I shot; Lucky timing (both catching the kite with its prey and being late in the afternoon with beautiful light quality), and I was hooked.

Very nice. That is not a falcon, looks like a black-winged kite, very similar to the white-tailed kite that I shoot regularly.
