Hi All
As I left the campus for Black Mountain this afternoon, I saw a flock
of six yellow tailed black cockatoos feeding in a pine tree on
campus, more or less opposite the entrance to the botanical gardens.
This is a new campus bird for me, and makes the eight species of
parrot of have seen on the ANU acton campus: sulphur crested
cockatoo; gang-gang; galah; yellow tailed back cockatoo; king parrot,
crimson rosella, eastern rosella, red-rumped parrot. This stikes me
as an impressive list: is there any campus better endowed with parrot
fauna than this? (especially as i think glossy blacks have been seen
here too, though not be me)
