A curious bird. Looks in colour more like an African Grey Parrot.

The Corroboree Park vicinity is now host to two avian imposters--

This one overlooking the tennis courts- I assume to deter the SC Cockatoos which had been playing havoc with the plastic? line markers necessitating the use of covers when the courts were not in use.

and this impressive one (Wedge-tail like) on a bracket off a chimney on a house at the southern edge of the Park - its closeness to the solar system looks suggestive, but perhaps only there for display?
