Hello All,
3.30 - 4.00pm, 14 Superb Parrots in park west
of Wybalena Grove roosting in 2 eucalypts about half way along and next to the
cycle path. Some were feeding young. Also heard other SPs nearby.
Weather felt humid and hot (to Canberra standard).
7.00 - 8.00pm SPs flying around and under the
trees, sometimes at head height, in singles or pairs in the park. They
seemed to be flying just for the joy of it and some were flying most of the
the time. Others were sitting in trees up to about 8 per tree, some feeding
young. About half appeared to be dependent young.
33 congregated in a tree near Lyttleton Cr around
8.00pm before flying north across Lyttleton Cr in groups of up to 10 birds
presumably to roost somewhere else. Still very warm and
humid
It was a memorable experience seeing them
flying around at dusk with storm clouds threatening and so many juveniles
present.
Merry Christmas
Peter
