Hi all
1900h to 1930h on 2-1-'09  saw 25+ SP in Wybalena Grove park flying and perching in the eucalypts. One family of 6 was in a flowering Yellow Box tree (E mell.)in an adjacent garden. The male and a female were being pestered by 2 juveniles each. The male appeared to be feeding on the blossoms.  A group of 4 juveniles (short tailed ones), other than the above, were doing laps through the eucs. Overall there appeared to be more juveniles than adults.
 
I also heard them in Wangara St but did not get numbers.
Cheers
Peter
