Just as I was leaving home to do a bit of shopping this morning, 15 Superb Parrots passed overhead.  While I was shopping in Weedon Close (excellent Chinese/Vietnamese grocery) I saw about 25 land in the flowering iron barks.

 

And even more excitement, as I was entering the 25 at Weedon Close, I cranked up Google Earth for the first time in a while (to get the lat/longs), and lo and behold they have updated their Canberra images, so that 25 Pickles Street is unveiled in all its domestic glory (even the little birdbath is visible).   A gross breach of privacy I feel, but a triumph of satellite imagery!

 

Cheers

 

Paul
