While I was sitting on the deck enjoying the cooler temperatures this evening, a female Superb Parrot flew into my neighbour's Silky Oak and stayed for 35 minutes, at first just sitting, trying to avoid being blown off the branch.  Once the wind died down, it fed on the flowers.  Then 2 tiny parrots flew into an adjacent flowering gum - Little Lorikeets, quite distinctive with their red faces.  They didn't stay long before zooming off towards the east.  Worth looking out for in all the flowering at present.
