There are large flocks of RLs roosting round the shopping centres at
Mt Gravatt and Sunnybank in the evenings.

Hello Bob,
You say " I know that the numbers of Rainbow Lorikeets in South East
Queensland are much reduced now compared to those in the 1970s."
While I will not disagree with this as I have no basis for such a
general comment I must disagree with it in many areas.
On the eastern side of Brisbane and towards the Gold Coast I would
consider there is almost a plague of Rainbow Ls. I know of at least
seven roosts where thousands and I really mean thousands of them
roost each night.
This is in three places new since the seventies.
At my place at Carina we always saw some R Ls but not every day and
certainly not in large numbers. Today it would be a strange day NOT
to see somewhere near 100 fly over and to to see at least 20 in near
by trees and gardens. That's every day of the year.
Peter
