Crimson Rosella
Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia
I saw this bird feeding alongside a Ringnecks at Murdoch University. I took a photo as I have seen a lot of birds, coming from a semi rural area and had NEVER seen one like this in Western Australia. From research on the net it looks like it might be a Crimson Rosella which are not supposed to be present here in the west.

Swift Parrot
Boggy Creek, Bullumwaal via Bairnsdale, Victoria
An unprecedented 100+ Swift Parrots were observed feeding in eucalypts at Boggy Creek this morning. Such a large number has not been recorded by EGBOC members previously and follows on from earlier but much smaller numbers noted in the same area late last week.
