Dear Mark et al
My understanding is that the ecologists went back in march and were
unsuccessful in relocating the parrots. They did seven days of pre-dawn and
post-sunset listening, spotlighting after midnight, mist netting plus use of
other traps.
It was after heavy rains.
I believe they are going back in October when it's dried out a bit more.

Mark Whittaker

Subject: Night Parrot sighting in WA
Hi all,
While trailing the internet I located a reported sighting of three Night
Parrots in north-western WA. The sightings were during a fauna survey for a
proposed mine...so one might hope that the observers were experienced.
Has anyone heard anything about these sightings? any comments?
Apparently there were unconfirmed sightings at the same location in 2004.
If interested, you can read about the sightings at:
