It would appear that the "annual influx" of Superbs has reached Mt Rogers (the trees behind/South of Avery Place, Fraser) in the last week. One walker reported "100" sighted on Tuesday 5th "The trees were green with parrots". On other mornings, up to 9:0am, there have been  family groups with keening young, obvious feeding by adults & much flying between the larger trees. Also some young left behind whilst adults forage.
There has also been plenty of over-flying of Flynn in the early mornings (to 9:30am)  & then later in the evenings (from 6pm)
 
Which suburbs are represented by other sightings?
