Ready to learn how to locate and identify glossy black-cockatoos (also known as ‘Glossies’) and their feed trees in the wild?

Come along to this interactive workshop to learn more about this vulnerable species. You'll get a chance to get up close to a glossy black-cockatoo and other native wildlife with Martin Fingland from Geckoes Wildlife, as well as take a short guided walk-through Daisy Hill Forest to identify the feed trees and habitat of Glossies.

The workshop will cover:

• Identification of glossy black-cockatoos by sight and sound
• How to differentiate females, males and juveniles
• Glossy Black-Cockatoo ecology and behaviour
• Identifying and recording feed trees
• Age classing of orts/chewings
• Using the Birdata app to record sightings during the Great Glossy Count
• How to stay safe in the field

Participants will also have the opportunity to sign on to the second annual Great Glossy Count which will be held on 9 -10 September. Delivered by Birdlife Australia, across the South-eastern areas of Glossy Black-Cockatoo habitat, this citizen science event is a great opportunity to get outdoors and survey Glossies and their feeding habitat.
