Whilst out searching for some white-fronted chat out at Denman Prospect, a kafuffle brewed above.  To our amazement, we (Zach Flegg and myself) were privileged to observe a gorgeous leucistic Yellow-tailed black cockatoo flying within a flock of a dozen or so birds.  It however had to deal with being harassed by an Australian raven.

We also were pleased to spend time with a duo of Yellow-billed spoonbill at Kelly's Swamp (Jerra Wetlands) not long after the fog dispersed.  As well as a Great egret having a successful fishing breakfast.

Cheers, Ben
