2022/0629/1600 — cockies

There's a small patch of grass alongside the Djerring trail just after the Huntingdale station car park, almost every time I ride past during the day I can see a couple of pairs of Galahs[1] foraging around, probably digging up the roots of the grass. Sometimes just a pair, other times one or two groups of three or four, today was a small flock of nine, and the closest less than a metre from the path. They look up when I ride past, but barely stop feeding . I guess they'd pay more attention if I stopped

Another local cockatoo is the Little corella[2], sometimes one or two fly noisily overhead, other times its like today as I was heading home at sunset, again on the Djerring trail but this time further to the south-east. Coming up to Centre road a flock of two or three hundred were milling around, screeching continuously as they formed up and flew off to the north to wherever they were going to roost tonight. For the next few minutes small skeins of stragglers came in from over the houses heading in the same direction, looking to join up with the main flock
