I was really excited to see this come up!! We love our Glossy Black Cockatoos and if this becomes a yearly event it will be great to be involved with considering the project we are currently running to plant the Allocasuarina diminuta’s on properties around Conimbla NP. I was lucky recently to hear and then see two of them on a property over near Canowindra.

There is an amazing new field guide just released by Birdlife Australia which includes some pictures taken by Cowra’s very own Jayden Gunn of Glossies from Conimbla 🙂 You can access the field guide here

The count is happening on Saturday 26th March and there is an online workshop happening on the 16th March at 7.30pm. It was easy to register and hopefully if there are a few of us doing it we could get a good picture of what is happening locally. I’m not sure how they are working out the sites so it will be a bit of a mystery for us (which adds to the excitement). Fingers crossed they are setting up some local sites.

To register and find out more you can pop over to the Glossy Black Cockatoo website here. The website also has heaps of other great info about Glossies. We would love it if you let us know if you have registered so we get a picture locally of who is interested.
