Every year when I'm able, I take part in the annual Glossy Black Cockatoo survey. These birds are classified as Vulnerable to Endangered. Each year, I find evidence of the birds but no birds. The survey is usually Sept.

So this year, I decided to head out a month and a bit earlier than the official survey, and it paid off. I spotted a small flock of 6 birds, and managed to have a close encounter with a male/female pair feeding.
