Lia saw two and only had a
close look at one, I saw one flying on 3 occasions which may
have been one or two birds but only saw one closely
and perched and through binoculars. It was a mostly close to
white form of the bird which appears to not have been the one
Lia saw well which was mostly grey (usual colour is mostly
green but they are bred in various colour forms). The calls,
the shape and long tail, the neck ring and the big red beak
are distinctive. We clearly heard at least two calling to each
other as they flew circuits around the trees & houses. I
heard one of them again at 11 am today.

At about 5:00 pm this evening a couple of strange parrots
were calling in the tree in my front yard in KAMBAH. They
spent some time flying around the neighbourhood and Philip
came round and identified them as Rose-ringed Parakeets.
