10 questions from my Parkes trip

["Tom and Mandy Wilson" <>]

Not sure about assessment for Q6.  Superbs are between 1/3 and 1/2 as big 
again as Red Rumped (36-42cm vs 25-28cm per Pizzey) and look a lot more 
robust.  If you think the bird was Red Rumped size, it's not a Superb.  I'd 
go for a juvenile or female Red Rumped or at outside a female Mulga.
Female Superbs have a red bill as well.
Cheers
