20140223_2235248 Birdehs On A Wire (Sun 23 Feb)

Thirroul Beach, NSW

Not the Mel Gibson film, fortunately. I had in fact gone to the beach to take photos of sunrise and to do some constitutional walking. I was back in the change room hosing the sand off my feet and getting ready to change back into my street shoes (the change room does not have a roof, or at least the central body of the building doesn't) when I saw these two sulphur crested cockatoos looking down on me. Accordingly I got out the Olympus and took a shot although by that time one had ceased to be interested.

They were later joined by two friends although I felt that using that shot would lose too much detail since they were spaced out.

Olympus E-P1 ,Olympus Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6
1/320s f/8.0 at 42.0mm iso400 full exif

They're very pretty. And awesome that you see them every day while I'd have to visit a zoo to see them (or their cousins)
