At the same time, I've noticed that Corellas are not passing through
Narrabundah most days now, so I'd guess the "Tuggeranong Corellas"
are the same group or part of the same group as the
"Narrabundah/Kingston/Callum Brae Corellas", having moved foraging
locations. Some do still pass here occasionally, but much smaller
numbers than a month ago.
