Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, and some other local Alice Springs birds photos

Alice Springs experienced a dramatic change in weather on Saturday, it hailed. Very unusual for our area. there was a big build up of clouds and one of the cloud colours was a pinky colour, which I now suspect to have been the hail forming cloud (photo below). One change in the area after the rain was the plethora of birds that have suddenly appeared.

One of these was a beautiful female Red-tailed Black Cockatoo out at Simpsons Gap. There were a lot of other small birds around as well, lots of Thornbills and a first sighting for me this year - a Redthroat. Here are a selection of photos from the weekend.
