I saw at least 15, possibly up to 20,of this
species at 7:15 this morning along the S fence line between the former
Narrabundah Hill pine plantation and the Chapman horse paddocks, about 200 m
from the SW corner. They may have been roosting in an adjacent bush as
they were all gone 15 minutes later.
While this species has been much more frequently
seen in the area since the January 2003 fires, this is the most I can recall
seeing together in this time.
There were some young birds among them and it was
good to see such numbers of this declining species. Great also to see
recent reports of them, including good numbers at Callum Brae.
