Cacatua sanguinea sanguinea
Little Corellas are mostly white, with a fleshy blue eye-ring and a pale rose-pink patch between the eye and bill. In flight, a bright sulphur-yellow wash can be seen on the underwing and under tail. The sexes are similar in plumage, and young birds look like the adults, but are slightly smaller - Birdlife Australia
This pair were hanging in the tree which was along the bank of a small flowing river at the Silent Grove campground, near Bell Gorge.
These two were quite happy to play it up for the camera when we stopped to photograph them but they did get a little shy :D While this spotting was at Silent Grove campground, closer to Derby I have seen "Little Corella" trees as they come into roost for the night! Heaps of them! Reference: The Michael Morcombe eGuide to Australian Birds, Mobile App. Reference: http://birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/litt...

Thank you!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
That's a huge compliment...thank you James :)
