Swift Parrot/Regent Honeyeater Survey

[Debbie Saunders <>]

Great work finding the swift parrots at Nest Hill David - it is a 
site I haven't found them before but thought it was good to keep 
monitoring.  There was also a flock of 6 birds in Ingalba Nature 
Reserve near Temora but I am still waiting for all the survey forms 
to come in for other areas in region.
