Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos

[brian fleming <>]

Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos are quite often seen in the Yarras Valley 
in Melbourne, but on Sunday morning (30 July), the volunteers at the 
National Tree Day planting at Beverley Road, Heidelberg, had the 
pleasure of seeing a flock of about 50 YTBCs swooping overhead in flight 
between the riverbank and  the tall pinetrees on the ridge in Heidelberg 
Park.  Odd smaller groups from the main flock repeatedly circled above 
us - it felt like applause.  130 people planted  no fewer than 12,000 
plants round the edges of the new wetland, for the record.
