CommentWhen visiting Charleville we stayed at the Evening Star bush camp. I was hoping to get some close images of the iconic Major Mitchell Cockatoo. When I left the camp on the first morning to drive to a recommended Major Mitchell spot I nearly ran over this pair as they fed on Paddy Melons at the camp entrance. I used my car as a hide which saw them remain calm and continue to feed. Thirty minutes and many images later we finally parted.
