Few sights emulate the lively character of Australian wildlife quite like a gathering of cockatoos.
Alissa Tomlinson captured this week’s winning photograph on Hamilton Island, featuring a group of unmistakable white birds competing for dropped chips, their bright yellow crests adding a splash of colour amid the chaos.
With one cockatoo spreading its wings with dramatic flair, several jostling for position and two watching from the background, it just screams “Wings”. Done the Aussie way.
Congratulations, Alissa, you certainly soar this week’s “Wings” theme to new heights!
Next week’s theme is “Macro”.
Thank you once again to everyone in the Whitsundays Amateur Photographers Facebook group for sharing another week of fantastic images.
