Comment | The image is of a ♀ Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo, ssp. Calyptorhynchus banksii naso. Going to a small bushland precinct in Kensington, WA for a sunset session on a very hot day, this capture of a female Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo was one of the highlights of the day. The tiny bushland patch in an otherwise built-up area holds plenty of Jarrah trees, some Banksias and a few Marri Eucalypts. In particular the Jarrah Eucalypts were awash with feeding and resting Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos. The birds numbered in their hundreds, and many squealing youngsters were amongst them. Marri and Jarrah Eucalypts mature patchily, so you never quite know when these majestic black-cockatoos will be visiting; the nuts of the trees have to be just right, before the birds will start to forage in them. However, just about this time of the year, the Western Australian black-cockatoos between them might begin to have exhausted fruiting Marri gum-nuts and change to Jarrah, which are fruiting later than the Marri. When a tree or a patch of trees are exhausted of their nuts, the birds will move on to another patch to forage in. Late in the afternoon, in warm sunlight, this image shows a female Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo about to land by its baby, wings and tail fully spread out, the feet starting to come forward to grab her perch. Time of capture 17:18. | ||||||||||||||||||
