Hi Mark,
YTBC's are extremely active in Sydney at the moment.
I have had large flocks of (40+) birds flying around Bronte and Waverley

Cheers,
Charles

They always remind me of films of WWII heavy bombers setting out on
missions, seeming to crawl across the sky.
Of course at other times (eg if a tasty pine plantation his in view) they
can get a move on, but I'd b reluctant to make a call of 'Glossy" based on
slow flight.
