What a great afternoon. Thankyou Neil!
Thirty-four members and non-members attended this interesting slide presentation.
Neil showed us his favourite birds, reptiles, frogs and mammals in the Grampians.
One of his favourite birds is the Gang Gang cockatoo.
“When we came to the Grampians area it was great to see and hear Gang Gangs regularly as we certainly did not see them in suburban Carnegie. They are a lovely small cockatoo (32 to 36cm in length) with a creaky outdoor “Dunny Door” type call. Because of habitat fragmentation and continued clearing, global warming, bushfires and fuel reduction burning they are listed as ‘Endangered’.
