Hi Ryu,

I had a delightfully noisy evening with S-C Cockatoos coming in to roost on a tall eucalypt next to the drive in to the War Memorial.  Must have been hundreds of them.

Cheers,

Susan Robertson

As we approach the end of the breeding season and communal roosts resume, I am once again asking for people to keep an eye out for roosting behaviour. 

For the roost survey I am now only after data for Sulphur-crested Cockatoos and Little Corellas. 

We are still sorely lacking data across Canberra, but especially in Gungahlin, North and East Belconnen, and Inner South. I will try and put in a map of known sites in the next Gang-gang newsletter. 

 

If you notice roost flights (regular movement of birds to/from their roost site in the early morning or dusk), please record the location and direction in which the birds are heading. 

For any roost sites please provide the location.

 

Any observations will be gratefully received and can be provided by reply email or to

 

Ryu Callaway
