Swift Parrots at Penrith

I found them this afternoon with many thanks to Jill Dark and Evan Beaver
for the precise directions. Hard to photograph due to strong breeze and over
200 clicks later I may have a few at best. But worth the sore neck of looking
up! Could not see any rings sadly. 

There was also Musk Lorikeet (I think, waiting for confirmation), Scaly-breasted
Lorikeet and Rainbow Lorikeet, Cockatoo and Long-billed Corella. A Noisy
Miner with fledged chicks was also about, and took a liberal amount of dive
bombs at me while I stood and watched/photographed. (NO problems with the
child care center staff either, I spoke to a lady, Libbie, who is the one
who called WIRES about the injured Swift Parrot a while ago). Safe.
