Went outside just now and a flock of yellowtailed black cockatoos just flew overhead on Bridge Road. Never seen these before in Richmond.

Sometimes in winter gang-gangs are seen down on Merri Creek - presumably escaping the cold of the alpine terrain that they favour in summer. Maybe the black cockies are doing likewise.

Black cockatoos mean rain is on the way.
