If I may be permitted a moment of sweet
remembrance, as a callow youth I found Swift Parrots on Rocky Knob (now Rocky
Knoll), Carnegie Crescent, Narrabundah in about 1959/1960. They were feeding on
lerps on the Yellow Box trees there.
I reported it, but was told it was not
possible /highly unlikely/ who would believe a 12 year old?
Someone from CSIRO Wildlife came out to
check, and believe it or not, we found a recently deceased bird on the ground.
Swift Parrot first official record for ACT entered into the
records.
Cheers
