I believe this is a type of #Hawthorn.
It’s fruit looks delightful.
Bright and vibrant, the fruit even shines in the late afternoon sunlight . It must attract the birds big time.
I think It was this same kind of larger fruiting tree, that was being stripped a few weeks back at sunset, in a leafy #melbourne suburb (near #Kew), by at least 150+ #longbilledcorella.
It was like a scene out of that movie ‘The Birds’… a real mess of leaves, fruit and branches strewn over the road and footpath.
They were screeching and chortling, a real dynamic and noisy scene to behold.
Never quite observed anything like that in suburbia.
This gorgeous Washington Hawthorn (I believe it is) was snapped in #Bentleigh #Australia.

Snapped just now, these four #longbilledcorella - and one pair are taking a midday snooze in a #gumtree in #Oakleigh #Australia.
Maybe two pairs of mates?
They’re a cockatoo native to Australia… these ones are mostly white, with a reddish-pink face and forehead, and has a long, pale beak, which is used to dig for roots and seeds.
It has reddish-pink feathers on the breast and belly.
They can be noisy (when not snoozing!) especially in numbers.

The long & the short of it & an interloper.
