[Philip Veerman <>]

In case anyone wishes to follow up on the included enquiry from Mick Ferris (Although I don’t understand how it comes to be posted under the message about the Global Shorebird Counting 2015) Having been sent the photo:

 

Hi Mick,

 

That is one of the easiest to identify ones ever. Outer (right side) tail feather of a (probably female) Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo.

Subject: Feather Identification

I found a large feather in the Kowan Forest area on Sunday whilst out photographing anything and everything.

 

I have not seen one like it before. Who can I send a picture to to identify the bird?

 

Regards
