5 Oct 2014. Thu 2 Oct Princess Parrot, Scarlet-chested Parrot Mamungari
Conservation
Park Princess Parrots were found at two locations in Mamungari Conservation
Park (also known as â??Un-named Conservation Park) in the Great Victoria
Desert. Three groups of 2-8 individuals were observed in the vicinity of the
mid-point of the park along the Anne Beadell Hwy, 525 km west of Coober
Pedy.
Another group of eight individuals was encountered on the western edge of
the park. Equally exciting, at least a dozen sightings of Scarlet-chested
Parrots were made over a two-day period â?? very widely dispersed, from
approximately
50km east of Mamungari, right through the park, and to beyond the WA border.
The SCPs were seen as individuals, and groups of two to four birds only.
A large proportion appeared to be immature. Additionally, although the
â??targetedâ??
new Taipan species Oxyuranus temporalis has not yet been found, we did find
and photograph a very unusual, large (1.8m) elapid snake genus Pseudechis
in Mamungari for which identification is very perplexing. Near-black
dorsally
and peppered with yellow spots. It was quite elongate, with small narrow
head, so could easily be mistaken for something in Pseudonaja (Brown Snakes),
or even Oxyuranus. Mamungari was intended to be only a stopover on the very
rough eastern stretch of the Anne Beadell Hwy (goat track!), but proved to
have some of the most impressive birding habitat Iâ??ve seen during this
very extensively travelled year. It is neither overly burnt nor grazed, and
is an incredibly beautiful area. Next stop â??The Junctionâ??. John Weigel
