    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Great shot of the old cocky & his mate. They are such friendly creatures but man they can bite ! Very sharp shot.

    I am embarking on a birdfest of biblical proportions this week-end & hope to get some decent parrot shots with my new 20D.

    Thanks Tim. Really would like to show a bunch of images, but sadly at this moment both of them look more like vultures then parrots (between molting and feather plucking) :D:cry

    Egrets get top billing :uhoh, no tell me it isn't so !! :D
