User's notes

Taken in mid 2013. I like the happy expression on this bird's face as it munches the grub extracted by ripping apart one of the Green Wattle trees (Acacia decurrens) at the front of our place in Spence. We relatively often have small flocks of these cockatoos in our wattle trees, anything up to 9 birds to a tree. They really come to visit the pines across the road at CSIRO field station.
