Hi everyone
Twice in the past fortnight I have seen small, fast flying parrots near the entrance to the ANBG and the grassy area immediately to the North of the Entrance. I was neither able to identify them with certainty or to see enough of them to have some sort of guess. I am confident they are not the usuals (Crimsons, Easterns or Red-rumpeds) or the more likely unusuals (Superb Parrots and Rainbow Lorikeets). There are flowering trees, including Ironbarks, in the vicinity. On the first occasion there was one bird and this morning there were two birds. On both occasions the birds were flying roughly Nor nor-east. They did not call. I am raising this in the hope that somebody else sees them and is able to identify them.
