A flock of Gang-gang Cockatoos have been seen throughout the local suburbs, visiting parks and looking for food. They are usually found around inland mountain forests not along bayside beach suburbs. While walking my dog, I found four in a tall gum tree along the creek behind my house. They were squabbling with the local Magpies and Currawongs. I rushed home to get my camera gear to see if I could get a few shots of my first local sighting and only my third sighting in the last 10 years. The flock had moved on but I did find a lone female Gang-gang feeding on green seed pods in the lower branch of a large tree at the other side of the old golf course. I watched for a while as she ate green seeds and then napped briefly, roused and ate more. After 30 mins or so the other members of her flock flew along the creek calling, she joined them and they headed further down the coast. I have not seen them since.

Really enjoyed reading that and to be able to see such detail in the photos is fascinating.

A great find Malt! That is a bird we have been seeking and has been seen in the outskirts of Sydney of late, but eludes us. Great shot of the female, and her little feather hat. 🙂

Yes, great to have good shots of a female. She was part of the second Gang-gang invastion of Bayside in the last 20 years. See mt article in the latest Banksia Bulletin https://www.bayside.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/banksia_bulletin_-_spring_2019_-_accessible.pdf\
