King Parrot at Wilson Reserve, Ivanhoe, Vic.

This morning en route to a Friends of Wilson Reserve working-bee, I saw a large 
bird
under noisy attack by Bell Miners. It flew across the path and I got a brief 
glimpse of
its parrot shape, red underparts and green breast and face. It must be a female 
or
immature. The Bell Miners continued their attack and chased it southward into 
the bush
surrounding the west arm of the Bailey Billabong, where it disappeared.

King Parrots are only occasional visitors to Wilson Reserve.
