TP, you've got a real talent and a good eye. Looking forward to more pics, in particular the match day shots.

While not amateur, looking at Rennie Ellis' collection for me is like getting lost in a good book.
I'm sure there's a few Nicksters in those pictures.

Great photos.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Thanks to urban crawl they are declining in numbers, but Sydney are keeping their numbers up.

Back when we were building and found out the council did the land swap across the road, i took some very shit pics of them late one night, and when i realised what they were i sent them to the council, bird groups, etc, and I had a journo and conservationists ringing me, but because they are migratory, it didnt help stop the swap!

My neighbour said they spend a bit of time here at this time of year, probably til the walnuts are all gone!! there must have been at least 40-50 of them. it was amazing, they came the night before too, but by the time i got to my camera and set it up, it was pretty dark, and the shots were shit! but these make up for it!!! cheers

Never seen them anywhere.

Up in Toc, the numbers of Corella's have grown to plague proportions while the numbers of Galah's and Sulpher Crested Cockies have seriously declined, but never seen those guys. Great shots.
