At 5.10 pm yesterday the biggest flock of YTBCs flew just north of Uriarra Village and stopped at the forest behind Uriarra Station. I'd previously counted 129 but this flock looked larger. Could it be the same lot that you saw Martin? I have no idea how far they travel.

This morning about 7:30 a cacophony broke out to our South. Eventually this resolved to a flock of at least 120 Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos which carefully flew 50m outside my GBS site and headed off in a generally Northern direction. They will be entered up as a general record.
This species was the first I recorded for GBS year 33. It was a flock of 12 that tree hopped across the site on Wednesday morning. As well as the usual suspects in the interim, an Eastern Yellow Robin was hunting on the lawn this morning.
