Little Corella

Cacatua sanguinea sanguinea

Description:

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

Habitat:

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.

Notes:

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...

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!
