Eyes to the skies…..and ground…..there might be a Glossy Black-Cockatoo around
The Glossy Black Conservancy will be coordinating its fifth annual survey on Sunday 19 October in an effort to gain a better understanding of population size and distribution throughout SEQ and North East NSW. The Glossy Black-Cockatoo is listed as a vulnerable species under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act, despite this status little is known about this enigmatic species. For more information on Glossy Black-Cockatoos and the Glossy Black Conservancy please visit the Conservancy’s website http://www.glossyblack.org.au
If you would like to assist in the conservation of this species then please volunteer your time and spend the day bush walking and looking and listening for the tell-tale signs of a Glossy.
An Identification and Information workshop will be held to provide all the information required to monitor on the day including survey protocols, how to positively identify a Glossy and even how to distinguish between adult males/females and juvenile birds. The workshop will be aimed at those wishing to volunteer for Birding Day, however anyone that would like to learn more about this species is welcome to come along.
