Welcome Back YTBCs

From the kitchen window.

Such beautiful birds and a joy to have around, even though I love my fruit trees!



Their habitat in the Adelaide Hills is taking a beating from smaller scale individual clearings and general "tidying up" for houses, though so many smallish clearings add up to fairly large scale habitat loss, especially as it is the understorey food sources like hakeas that tend to "go" because they are "fire ladders" to canopies in bushfires.

2017 Already!

*sneaks back in*



It's not only January already, but it's January 2017!

I will pick up where I left off, with the Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos.




The cockatoos are tentative at the bowl, I think because it had fallen off while I was away and they'd been without it for a couple of weeks.

Though the cockatoos are quiet, the magpie isn't ;)
