Flocking with Corellas.

...going to the birds

About halfway through a lovely evening flight, a massive flock of Corellas took to the sky, deciding to change roosting places en mass.

By a stroke of luck, with the flock swiftly changing direction, the Floater Jet was suddenly in the midst of dozens of Corellas on the wing, their brilliant white plumage reflecting the golden sunset against a beautiful backdrop of distant clouds...
