A drive in Winter and Cockatoos.

 The other day we headed out in the car for a drive, a short one.  We went to Relbia, White Hills, Evandale and home.  Photos from the drive which includes a few Vinyards. We came across many Cockatoos along the way.

The marks on the map is where we went.

The long shadows of the late afternoon

The Cockatoos making a lot of noise.  Those trees as we approached were covered with the parrots.
