Squawker

Heavy crop on this one. It was on a roof over the other side of the road, and 135mm isn't really long enough for that. Still managed to keep some detail though. I'll regard this as a reward for patience: I saw this and another cockatoo on the roof, stopped, trained my camera on them, remembered to switch to auto to open the aperture and make focusing easier, then back to manual (at 5.6 I think), and I stood and waited. I waited for quite some time, it felt, until this one leapt up, flapped and squawked wildly, before landing again. Happily, my set-up, and aperture priority, worked nicely.

Have a larger look.
