Hi
At 11:00am today, I watched a flock of some 40 - 50 Yellow-tailed
Black-Cockatoos flying south west to north east across Lake Ginninderra.
Also counted 18 Red-rumped Parrots perched on power lines, and another
group of 22 on lines about 250 metres further around the shore. Interestingly,
when I investigated adjacent gum trees, I estimated that there would have been
about another 20 perched among the foliage, including three or four which I
recognised as immatures. On the other side of the lake I came upon another bunch
of about 20 birds perched atop a couple of dead trees.
Bye
John Layton.
