i'd take it again

A cockatoo taking off on a light pole at the University oval.

I have seen them land on these light poles before and thought "I really should get a shot of that".

 

So when I heard them squarking outside yesterday I grabbed the camera, quickly snapped on the 300mm, fiddled with the camera settings and leaped outside.

 

Right at the moment I pointed the camera at the bird and got it to focus off the closer foliage, it flew off. Just caught it! I only took the one shot.

 

So the title of this image is inspired by Icehouse's 'Street Cafe' - "If there was just one more chance, I'd take it again".
