 Location: 2 km North of Dunkeld-southern most tip
of the Grampians National Park in South West Victoria. 
  
Hope some-one can help me in identifying a group of
approx.10 birds feeding on long grass in my front paddock this morning. 
Sure enough I was in a rush and had no binoculars with me but on searching
through my Pizzey and Knight Field Guide, I am quite sure they were Scarlet
Crested Parrots.  Is this possible resulting from the drought and extremely
dense smoke coverage around the nearby ranges?   
  
Any suggestions warmly welcomed. 
  
  
Cheers, 
Margaret
