more cockatoos on the deck!



Grand Pacific Hotel Lorne

I stayed near this grand old icon of Lorne.

 near a pier for an early morning jog...

and lots of sand, sea and sky.

and birds! I told you yesterday about the birds....

well, on day 2 this little guy turned up.




bare-eyed cockatoo



he looked like he'd had a fight with a watermelon..... or chainsaw!

he was so ugly......but cute-ugly.

he called to his girlfriend, and....to be 'politically correct'.....

she was his 'visual equal' !

these two weren't as bossy as the other cockatoos,

and they always showed up together, inseperable,

like a funny, doddery pair of grandparents.

and just like a couple of oldies, they'd leave the party early

and fly off to their perch in a nearby pine tree.

ain't love grand!
