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.
