On the afternoon of Saturday, 10 June 2018, I was out walking around my local area trying our a new tripod I had purchased that day. Unfortunately, I had waited too long before going out so I missed the afternoon sun. While I was walking the last rays where just striking the slopes of Red Hill, so I knew I did not have much decent light left. When I was walking past the Federal Golf course it was hard to miss the flocks of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos and Corellas on the greens, as well as a number of kangaroos. There was one brave golfer who was not yet ready to hand the links over to the wildlife shift before he finished his final holes. I used the birds as subjects for some telephoto work with my tripod, even though the light was not the best, hence why these shots are grainy. I was not going to post them but I had to share the playful Corellas. Initially I thought these Little Corellas were eating, with maybe the odd squabble, until I noticed the swinging flag. I then realised that some birds were enjoying swinging not just on the flag pole but also on the flag. I cannot be certain these birds were playing but it looked a lot like playing to me. If the Federal ever wonders why they go through so many flags I guess they know the reason now. A fun way to say goodbye to the day.
