The tower house at Ocean View

I went with Kara for an exciting drive up to Ocean View in the rain this afternoon (in her new car). We stopped off at this very cool house to get a shot in the clouds.

King Parrot (male)

We were awoken to the shrill squarks and squeals of a flock of King Parrots just outside out bedroom this morning.
I happened to have the 400/5.6L and 1.4x TC on the 1DIV already, so grabbed it for a few shots. Luckily this fellow wasn't too phased about the dogs (whereas most of the flock flew off once the dogs noticed and barked).
Unfortunately it was still quite dark (overcast and under the veranda eaves), so it's a wee noisy (ISO 4000).
