Thu 16Glossy Black Cockatoo
Crawford Rd., Cooranbong
Just before 7 this morning, a pair of Glossys flew north across the paddocks calling to each other. At the same time there was a trio of Yellow-tailed Blacks and a pair of White Cockatoos in the sky heading east. Busy morning for parrots as saw 3 types of Lorikeet (Scaly-breasted then Little then Rainbow) in the next 10 minutes overhead.

Wed 15Glossy Black-Cockatoo
Kingscliff
15 Glossy Bl Cockatoos observed allo-preening, flying and eating seeds from nuts off the Casuarinas trees lining the headland from creek to beach. Seemed to be mainly adult pairs and one juvenile observed with small pale spots, feeding itself. A local birder told us that she counted 20 Glossies on 13th in the evening when they came to drink at large puddles in a beach carpark. A great experience to see so many !

Tue 14highlightpossible Australian Swiftlet.
Denistone Park
Seen this small Swiftlet this morning over looking roly poly hill circling around with Welcome Swallows. The Swiftlet was about a similar size to the swallows much smaller than Needletails or Pacific Swifts. It was light grey color all over with a very slight forked-tail, the Swiftlet circled over me three or four times before it disappeared to the south There were also small flocks of Needletails just before I had seen the Swiftlet.(Moderator's Note: We treated this sighting as a "possible" because small Swiftlets are hard to identify and we feel that the description is not adequate to definitely confirm an Australian Swiftlet (AKM).
