Snowy Fall.
Weather predictions for southern Australian states this weekend are for an icy blast with lots of snow in the high country and some helpful rain for farmers who have been in a significant drought. Let's hope what would be fairly normal at times during winter in fact occurs. Skiers and alpine resorts will be happy too.
We had a Snowy fall this morning as well at the back of our place when in the middle of Galah breakfast, a flock of 18 Sulphur Crested Cockatoos arrived with a massive combined screeching and settled all around. Well, with that noise the Galahs all took off and haven't been back. If neighbours were not awake, they soon would have been but except for 1-2 occasionally, we don't feed the Sulphurs although we love them to bits.
Here are a few of them. It was a rush to grab a camera and get this image before they all headed off. For those who see our occasional bird shots, you will know that we call the ones who do get a few seeds Snowy I and Snowy II.
Note the one with its beautiful sulphur or lemon crest raised!
