Michael - this is dated 4 years ago, and as far as I know no later records there.

I haven't seen or heard GBC since 2014 - I wonder what happened. The number of park visitors has certainly grown over the past years including the number of dogs on and off lead (about 60% of dogs are off lead). Perhaps this has an impact on the species?

Thanks Waltraud, they do seem to remain in heavily visited parts of the south coast, but there "loss" is definitely something for us to consider

I saw them at Majura once (I think with you Waltraud and a few others on an orchid walk).

I had a very quick look at the COG sighting records and there was a bit of a peak of sightings in the ACT during the drought and a decline post drought. I am not claiming this is significant but maybe the birds don't need to travel as far as the ACT if the seasons are OK?

could well be Greg
we saw a major increase of Glossies after the 2003 fires. The Glossies would come for a drink at the lower dam off Blue Metal Road in the evenings; members of COG and FoMM would sit there with binoculars at the ready. From memory, the highest number we counted at the dam were 14 birds. Over the years prior and post 2003 we observed a resident pair, the female was quite significant with the pattern of yellow in her face; the pair had regularly young. I haven't seen them for years.
