Feeding on jarrah gum nuts.
One bird on its own?
Heard/saw a group of 20 - 30 white-tailed black cockatoos. Whicher whicher call clearly heard.
However, I suspect it was a mixed group of Baudin's & Carnaby's? One bird photographed was clearly a male Baudin's (separate observation) and quite a few others were feasting on marri honky nuts. There was another group on the road verge up to 10 birds eating??? And I suspect that this group may have been Carnaby's (separate observation).
Some marri honky nuts were collected which showed markings by both species of white-tailed black cockatoos.
A group of around 10 birds possibly Carnaby's? feeding on ??? on the road verge.
Other white-tailed bc's were feeding on Marri honky nuts closeby of which some were definitely Baudin's. Calls of whicher whicher were also heard.
A few marri honky nuts were picked up which showed markings from both white-tailed species.
Photos aren't the best so I doubt an exact ID can be made.
