I thought I heard SP’s over Kaleen today, but could not see them.  So maybe they were there.

Driving away from Giralang Primary School this morning I was delighted to look up and see four Superb Parrots in a tree across the road. Being relatively new to Canberra and with young kids I don't get to birdwatch much these days and this was my first view of this striking bird. I pulled over to get a better look but they flew before I got out of the car.

 

I was wondering if there are particular spots around Canberra where you have an increased chance of spotting SPs or if you just have to stumble upon them like I did?

 

Many thanks - Woo O'Reilly
