Gang gang cockatoo

I went for a walk in the National botanic gardens today hoping to see some bird life to shoot.
Just as I was about to give up due to hot weather and no flowers to attract birds I found a pair of gang gangs, normally shy, who flew down on to the sprinkler and posed for shots. Expect to see a few more in subsequent days! This is, I think, a juvenile female.
