A small flock was seen in Carwoola in early November.  That was the first that the observer could remember nhear, so I suspect there is some range extension going on, as with the Superb Parrot sighting.

On COG's field trip last Sunday we observed a flock of five Little Corellas flying over farmland at the southern edge of Bungendore. None of the locals on the trip could recall observing this species in Bungendore previously. (Paul Fennel: any records in COG's data base please?). This could be a range extension of the Canberra birds or another group, perhaps drought refugees, that has moved in from elsewhere?
