There is a large summer population of Little Corellas in Sydney's Inner West (I
think I reported last year: they usually are around from the 1st/2nd week of
January to some time in April). I recently found a roost at War Memorial Park,
Leichhardt (Catherine and Moore St). I never counted them (I should), but my
impression is that there are approximately 200 around dusk and much fewer later
in the night (11pm). Maybe they fly from a dusk roost to a night roost later in
the night? (Similar to what corvids do). If this is true, it may explain the
nocturnal calling.
Cheers,
Nikolas

Hey everyone, I have never heard Corella's call actively at night before
whereas now for the past Three nights at about 11 a large flock has been
Calling and I was just wondering if anyone would know what exactly's going on?
