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
