Spent an enjoyable, foggy morning at the Swift
Parrot site in Hackett (off Rivett St) with Tom and Pat. After initially not
locating them near their favourite drinking haunt at the reservoir, we
eventually found 12 in a tree in the adjacent paddock at about 9.00am, about 300
metres from the reservoir near a small dam. They were initially very active,
then later all preened together once the fog had lifted.
Other Psittaciforms in the vicinity were Crimson
and Eastern Rosellas, Australian King Parrots, Galahs, Sulphur-crested
Cockatoos, Gang-gangs and Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos.
