Wow, this is a very important sighting and record; nowadays we don't see / hear the Glossy Black Cockatoos as often! UserYYUcWrif, thanks heaps for sharing! please continue uploading photos of the Glossies if you come across them.
Thanks again

Waltraud, There were two Glossy Black Cockatoo sighted as per the second photo. Maybe a pair? Excited to unexpectedly come across them in the Allocasuarina this morning.

I can't see whether the face of the second bird in the second photo has yellow markings; however, I assume it is the male since they usually are in pairs.
