We are getting heaps of these in Perth, too many in some cases as some shires are starting to cull them. Good action shot.

Same in Sydney, and they make a racket.

Cover your almond trees, here they come!
Nice wing-spread gives a good idea of the size of the bird. Next time could I suggest you stop down a bit to, say, f/5.6 or f/8. You could afford to sacrifice a bit of shutter speed - corellas don't move that fast - and you'd get a sharper shot, which is really important in bird photography.

Yeah, I wish I had stopped down to 5.6.
