I saw four Corellas (not sure if long billed yet) at Floriade this morning. I hopefully got some shots (flying perching etc), together with a host of other little guys. Am about to start processing them now...

Little Corellas have certainly increased in Canberra in recent years,
but isn't that partly due to a release of caged birds from the now
defunct zoo near Red Hill?  Not saying that there hasn't been an influx
of wild birds, but I thought the birds seen around Griffith and
Narrabundah at least in part originated from these formerly captive
individuals - or is that one of those urban myths?
