Hi Steve, Peter and All
There have been several reports of possible Glossy Black Cockatoos on the
Fleurieu Peninsula over past twenty years or more but to my knowledge none
of them have ever been substantiated.
Cheers
Chris Baxter

>From my days back in SA I remember reports of Glossy Blacks crossing
Backstairs Passage from Kangaroo Island to the Fleurieu Peninsula (though
sadly never got to see them myself). HANZAB has references to various
reports from the '70s to this effect. Other SA birders may have more recent
observations?
Red-tails used to be reported from the SE just over the border from
Victoria. In fact I remember an SAOA campout at Bangham CP where they were
recorded the day before I arrived (and not seen again for the duration of
the campout!)
