We have an influx of Little Corellas at the moment
and yesterday I thought there was an owl on a fence in the cattle yards, on
closer inspection it turned out to be a coloured Corella. At first I thought it
might have been dirty, but definitely a motley brown. Later on in the day it
landed in the Gum tree in our house yard and Ian, another chap and I all had
good views of it. Unnderneath a similar colour to a Rhode Island Red chook, the
rest of it motley brown, with red overtones and white blotches on the wings.
Needless to say the other Corellas are giving it a wide berth. I have my camera
at the ready to-day, so hope to get a photo.
