Thanks very much for this notification Kirri. Your directions were spot-on and
I found three Glossy Black-Cockatoos feeding intently for over 2 hours. I
stayed in the car from 4-4:30pm , hoping they would come down to drink at dusk,
but at 4:35 saw 5 fly SE and then noticed the 3 above were gone. They feed so
quietly!
Hopefully, this attachment will go through - if so, can experts out there
please ID the tree species? Thanks!.
Cheers
Judy
