I most certainly did not feel like going out to see what was in the yard today. I am so glad I went out anyway
my 36th species so far this year in our yard.

Congrats Wollemi! Haven't seen one of those in the wild yet. They are absolutely gorgouse and you've must have felt quite happy with seeing one in your yard.
M.M.
I was really happy to see them. This is male and female pair so hopefully breeding!
we have them appear once or twice a year in our yard, sometimes they hang around for a few days, mostly we see them flying past so it is special when they stop and let me get a photo.
Happy Birding!

Their chances of breeding will be enhanced if there are old trees with deep hollows in your garden or nearby.
we do have some big hollows in our yard but not sure if they are large enough for these guys, one hollow has, a few years ago produced twin Little Corellas and this year produced a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, though I think that particular hollow being close to our driveway would not entice the Yellow-tailed Blacks.
Happy Birding!

For Yellow-tailed Cockatoos the hollows need to be not only large but deep.
It is always thrilling to see these guys, well done!
