The movements of this semi-migratory parrot are interesting.  If in accordance with recent seasonal trends they have left our area, one possibility is that part of the population has learned to extend its post-breeding movement (late summer/spring) to the vicinity of Canberra to make use of local food sources before heading further north for winter and then doubling back (presumably a more western route) to its riverina stronghold.  It is probable that Canberra remains on the extreme south-east corner of their range.

It's now been several days since I've seen or heard a Superb around here, the first time they've been missing since before Christmas. I'd hoped they would stay but they may have gone.
