At the overflow gully this morning there were only
infrequent views of small groups of SPs, about 6 flocks in 2 hours
(7-15). They were being relentlessly chased by currawongs and did not
descend below the treetops. One currawong engaged in a prolonged aerial
pursuit of a single SP. This behaviour was a contrast to the relatively
relaxed and confiding flocks of 2005 - some of which are on the
YouTube video Frank has drawn attention to.
Nearby was a tagged and banded UM
(‘unhappy male’?) Galah feeding on the ground, if anyone is
looking for such. So far as I can make out the band says in part (top
line) ‘DUF6 (or DUFS)’ and under
that ‘200’ or ‘20D’.
