Following on from yesterday's report of possible Swift Parrots in Cook, a small
group of dedicated birders congregated outside 51-53 Lyttleton Crescent last
evening but were not able to confirm the presence of Swift Parrots or any other
unusual species in the area. The tree in question appears to be an Indian Myna
roost which was briefly disturbed by a visit from a Sparrowhawk. We met both
the sender of the email and another local resident who attested to the presence
of unusual and noisy birds roosting in the tree recently but, whatever these
birds are, they failed to put in an appearance last night. The only parrots
congregating in the area were Eastern Rosellas ? I observed a small flock of
about 10 in a tree further up the street. As I live not too far from this
area, I?ll check it out again over the weekend.
Regards
Frank
