Blue Eyed Boy

I am a bit late posting tonight because we have been at Maitland Steamfest all day and out for dinner this evening and only just got home.

I am shattered tonight, we have walked miles today. It has been a beautiful day though and lots of sunshine. I think the temperature reached 28 degrees C. Not bad for an autumn day.

I haven't had time yet to check out any of the photos taken today because I am in desperate need of a cup of tea. Only had two cups of tea so far today and I am getting withdrawal symptoms.

I took this photo at the same time as yesterday's sulphur crested cockatoo photo at our local duck pond.

This is a little corella and there were quite a gang of them by the pond. I think somebody leaves fruit peelings, seeds etc to feed the birds and ducks and the birds all congregate to eat the goodies left for them.

I will catch up with 365 tomorrow, too tired this evening and off to bed early.

Still on catch up here. I love the corellas even though they are quite destructive. When we first moved up to the bay from Melbourne many years ago we didn't get corellas here at all. It wasn't until a massive bushfire on the other side of the bay at Myall Lakes that they all decided to evacuate that area and flew over to this side of the bay. They have remained here ever since.
No Annie I never seem to slow down do I. Keep it to yourself, but I think I have got a quiet day on Thursday, ha ha.

Bweautiful bird. You made me laugh regarding the cups of tea - I can identify. We got back from our holiday after two weeks of tea with no milk and were really looking forward to a cup of tea the way we like it - only my eldest hadn't bought any milk in! What a disaster ;)

[Kathy A]

Fabulous looking bird
