I went out to West Macgregor on this cold, overcast afternoon (1 July) ?
not surprisingly there was little to be seen ? no sign of the Zebra
Finches or Diamond Firetails.  But, upon returning to the gate at the end
of Cannan Crescent, I heard a loud screech and a commotion as some Magpies
and Currawongs attacked something?.to my surprise, a magnificent male
Eclectus Parrot flew past me and disappeared into a small clump of
eucalypts.  A beautiful bird, but I fear it will be regretting leaving
home on this chilly night!

Regards
Frank Antram
