Oh these are all stunning. I'm particularly enamoured of the black cockatoos (far away as they are, I know what you mean about them rarely being in range! And I love seeing any photos of them, honestly I think they're wonderful). Welcome swallows are so cute!

It's always such a treat seeing your photos and I'm looking forward to more! Thank you for sharing these with us (and as someone who processes photos for DW too, thank you for taking the time to go through them!)
