His interest in birds led him to join the South Australian Ornithological Association, of which he was President from 1974 to 1976, and the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union. He became particularly interested in grasswrens, publishing over 50 papers and the book Grasswrens, Australian outback identities (2017) with P. Gower. Black's concern for unrestrained clearance of native vegetation resulted in his joining the Nature Conservation Society of South Australia and similar organisations. He was appointed to South Australian Government authorities which had responsibility for assessing applications for clearance under several Acts. In 2018 Black was awarded the J. N. Hobbs Memorial Medal by Birdlife Australia for his significant contributions to ornithology. 1963 1963 Education - MB BS, University of Adelaide 1967 Career position - Member, Royal Australasian College of Physicians 1969 1995 Career position - Member, South Australian Ornithological Association 1974 1974 Career position - Member, Nature Conservation Society of South Australia 1974 1976 Career position - President, South Australian Ornithological Association 1975 1997 Career position - Member, Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union 1976 2007 Career position - Committee member and medical advisor, Epilepsy Association of South Australia 1977 1984 Career position - Member of Council, Conservation Council of South Australia 1978 2008 Career position - Member of Council, Phoenix Society 1980 1984 Career position - President, Nature Conservation Society of South Australia 1985 1987 Career position - Member of Council, Australian Conservation Foundation 1985 1990 Career position - President, South Australian Ornithological Association 1987 1996 Career position - Head of Neurology, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Adelaide 1991 2001 Career position - Member, Native Vegetation Council, South Australia 1991 2005 Career position - Member of various committees, Epilepsy Society of Australia 1995 Award - Honorary Life Member, South Australian Ornithological Association 1997 2000 Career position - President, Epilepsy Society of Australia 1997 2011 Career position - Member, Birds Australia 2000 2000 Award - Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) - for service to conservation and the environment, to ornithology and to medicine, particularly in the field of epilepsy 2003 Career position - Honorary Research Associate in Ornithology, South Australian Museum 2004 2007 Career position - President, South Australian Ornithological Association 2012 Career position - Member, Birdlife Australia J.
