Long-billed Corella
Samford - private property near the village.
At least 3 Long-billed Corellas came in to a bird-feeder - in company of 6 Little Corellas. A number of other corellas seemed to be hybrids of the 2 species - is that feasible?? (Editors note: Crossbreeding between closley related bird species is possible and their is certainly evidence of crossbreeding between these two species)

Purple-crowned Lorikeet
Fig-tree Pocket
Single bird feeding on Banksia flowers with Rainbow, Musk and Little Lorikeets. This was in the park at the end of Michaelangelo Ct, beyond the dog exercise enclosure. Excellent view for over thirty seconds noting bright red underwing and pale blue breast clearly. Possible aviary escapee I guess as it seems well outside its range and I haven't been able to find any other reports from this area. (Editors Note: Most likely an escapee as distribution is far southern NSW and Victoria across to Western Australia)
