Huge flock of black cockatoos passing over grassland and pines east of Bluetts. Approximately 100 seen, but at least triple this number judging by calls of birds flying past out of sight while in woodlands. See photos.

Legit number! About to drop my entry. The sound was amazing up at Bluetts Block on sunset. A bit harder for imagery…
