Having seen two Superb parrots flying over the N edge of Mt Rogers on 21st November (7:40) there was a pair feeding amongst Eucalypt blossom this morning at 6:45. A little later they flew round to a partially decrepit Acacia baileyana (Cootamundra Wattle). They were feeding on green seed-pods. They, as 'early arrivals', have this choice of pods. Normally the SCCockatoos have picked those trees clean  by about this time.  Note: Acacia baileyana are a constant target of the 'fire-hazard-removal-crews because they "look untidy" & are often dying by the age of 15 years!
 
A or The Koel was calling for at least 3/4 hour as heard from my Flynn place from 06:00 Tuesday. My feeling is that it moved between Latham, Charnwood, Flynn & possibly Fraser in that time.
