User's notes

Spotted 5 Glossy Black Cockatoos and could hear another 2 in the distance. Managed to get photos of 4 The male and female in the first lot of photos were together in the same tree, then there was another couple sitting together in another tree. I could here a separate glossy further in the thicker vegetation but could not see it properly, it was possibly a juvenile. I could also hear possibly 2 more Glossies further in the bush but could not spot them. I will send all my photos to Glossies in the Mist
