We went to Flynn's Winery (Lewis Rd, Northern Hwy 15 km from
Heathcote) for lunch yesterday and saw a dozen or so Blue-winged
Parrots. As we arrived they flushed from mown grass into a tree in front
of the Bistro. As we ate our lunch, I kept the tree under my eye, also
noticing a pair of Restless Flycatchers and a pair of Jacky Winters
which visited the same tree, in between flights among the vines.
Eventually the Blue-wings flew out of the tree, towards the Highway -
some perched on top of the trellis poles so I could get quite a good if
distant view of them. Yes, of course I took my binocs in to lunch!
Ample room for them on the window-ledge.
We also saw a young Wedgetail flying in the middle distance, under
heavy attack from a pair of Magpies. And we had a very nice lunch too.
