2015 Great Cocky Count – Sunday 12 April at sunset!!!! Join up for WA’s biggest survey for the endangered Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo! The seventh Great Cocky Count (GCC) will take place 30 minutes before sunset on Sunday 12 April 2015. This annual community-based survey aims to count as many Carnaby’s as possible at their night-time roost sites on a single night each April. This year will also include Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoos in the count. Roosts are places where black-cockatoos rest at night. The GCC roost counts help to estimate species numbers and identify critical roosting habitat – information that contributes directly to cockatoo conservation. Survey sites are located all over south-west WA, so there’s a good chance there’s a spot nearby that needs you! Get more information and register as a volunteer at birdlife.org.au/carnabys/great-cocky-count We need to find more roost sites for both white-tailed and red-tailed cockies. For more information about the GCC or to tell us about a roost site, contact Matt Byrne on 9287 2251 or at [email protected] The Great Cocky Count is funded by Perth Region NRM through the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country program.
