There have been one or more
pairs of Superb Parrots overflying the Pinnacle reserve on and off for
the last month or so, presumably heading for Hawker oval, where they
are known to feed, but yesterday afternoon I saw 11 birds in all. Two
pairs at opposite ends of the reserve, and a group of 7 feeding on
acacia pods (I think). The group consisted of one adult male, either 2
or 3 adult females, and several immature birds, one of which was
starting to show signs of male plumage. A group (presumably the same
one) later flew over us heading north.
