Join BirdLife WA and become a citizen scientist by getting involved with the Great Cocky Count (GCC) – the largest survey of Black-Cockatoos in WA. This workshop will provide training to volunteers to take part in the official count on the12th of April. Local ornithologist Simon Cherriman will also be a part of the conversation to share his insights and observations on the species’ breeding over the season here in the Shire of Mundaring and beyond! Plus, we’re thrilled to announce that you’ll meet Princess Rex, along with Sam Clarke from the Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre. Participants will learn about Black Cockatoo conservation and how to identify these magnificent birds while enjoying a close-up encounter. Bring the kids along—we’ll have Eco-Educator extraordinaire Cathy Levett on hand to keep them engaged while you take in the important information. This workshop is supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
