12 Swift Parrots recorded at Burrewarra Point, Guerilla Bay, on Saturday 21
April . They were quite flighty, but we did get good looks at them resting in
Banksia integrifolia for about 5 minutes - they were not feeding when we saw
them although I imagine they do when they are not being hassled by the 100s of
Red Wattlebirds that were there. Good numbers of Fuscous HE among the
Yellow-faced and occasional White-naped.
We returned on Sunday morning but found no Swift Parrots.
Other birds of interest - Glossy Black-cockatoo on the eastern extension of
Percy Davis Drive south of Broulee, Double-banded and Red-capped Plovers,
overwintering Eastern Curlew and Godwit and Striated Heron on Moruya River.
Driving back to Canberra - about 13 YT Black-cockatoos near the new Defence HQ
roundabout w of Bungendore.
