Numerous birds. These were drinking from shallow pools on a basket-ball court while others in the associated flock were feeding on playing fields nearby. I have never again seen so many corellas all at once in this location.

This is a digital scan of a historic photo taken on 5th June 1992 using a film camera (i.e. non-digital). I was in the Mapleton Forest near a grove of black (Allocasuarina littoralis) she-oaks and saw several of these birds feeding on the she-oak seed-cones and was able to get this one photo of one of them. At the time (I am a keeper of diaries) I wrote in my diary that I had seen 'red-tailed cockatoos' (sic); but given the location and the food source the birds would most likely have been glossy black cockatoos which are still occasionally seen in this area. Location given is approximate: I cannot recall the exact location but my father had driven me and my young son out into the Mapleton Forest; we were in an area just north of Delicia Road and not far from the entry track that leads to a spot called "The Bluff'. Note: on 10th April 2023 I and some other family members were walking a section of the Blackall Range Great Walk: we started from Thilba Thalba walkers' camp and walked east. At the start of the walk we saw and heard the Glossy Blacks (though could not get photos) and then further east toward the Bluff we saw another group of these birds flying past overhead; again unfortunately not able to take photos but I can state that they were present in the area in early April 2023, 29 years after I saw them in 1992.

The previous inhabitants of the home of this crustacean were sradines in a spicy sauce. He seemed very happy in his hypermodern dwelling, even gaining a bonus to his movement speed... at the expense of charisma. :-)
