Flight feathers

A white cockatoo taking off from the grass in black and white. It took some time getting a shot of the pattern in the wing feathers and the shape of the wings when extended

Love how the bird's wings are extended and showing such a great shape with it's feathers. Nice catch.

[Debs Stott]

@teodw @dibzgreasley @krisdan @tracelee @elisasaeter @kiscsillag @sophiaz @tracie8266 @23bri Thanks for the lovely comments. I am actually not patient at all, so was quite surprised that I managed the 300 attempts needed to get the photo I wanted!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Awesome capture! Perfectly timed!

[Marnie]

Great shot, must've taken ages to get right.

@golftragic I followed cockatoos desperately around the oval and took a lot of shots, but was happy with the result

[Marnie]

@flyrobin Your persistence certainly paid off bigtime.
