Steve Holliday will lead the late Saturday afternoon outing to observe the vulnerable species, the Glossy Black-Cockatoo, when they come in to drink at dams in the Mt Majura Nature Reserve towards evening. Up to 10 birds have been observed doing this recently. Meet Steve (6248 0910) at 3.45 pm sharp at the small carpark in Mackenzie St near the end of Grayson St Hackett for a short flat walk of about 10-15 minutes to the dam. It should be okay to park in the street if there isn't enough room there.
For those unable to make this time, or if they are not seen then, Tom Green has agreed to lead a repeat of the very successful May mid week walk when up to 10 of them were seen on the upper slopes of the mountain feeding on Allocasuarina. We will be walking up the main trail instead of going via the dams, therefore it is only a moderate climb. Meet Tom (6247 0630) at 9 am the same spot as above to spend a couple of hours looking for these birds.
