Yes Nick. Similar experience on dog walk yesterday 0715 in semi-darkness, a
noisy elongated aggregation, I thought over 500 birds, overflying Griffith,
roughly. Largest group I've seen. I thought heading from a roosting area
possibly at Black Mountain to feeding grounds at Symonston rural leases.
Another possibility is it was an influx arriving in Canberra for first time
before dispersing.

While outside yesterday afternoon (suburb of Griffith) the largest flock of
Corellas that I've seen locally flew overhead. I hauled my phone out of my
pocket and took a few photos. Loading the photo that seemed to capture the
greatest number of bird into Gimp and putting a dot over each bird gives a
flock size of about 550 birds.
