24 is the highest count I have seen this year/season in North Watson around 5 weeks ago. They were feeding on grass seeds on the Youth With a Mission lawns in Aspinall St, Watson. North Watson continues to be an area in daily use. I hear Superbs early, late and at random times through the day, but only in small numbers. If the low numbers here are due to spread into the suburbs and south that is excellent, as many significant trees will go from this area with the inevitable march of development. Water access will also change. But there are many factors at play.

Just saw a large flock of some 20-25 Superbs flying from Mulanggari and over Gungahlin Town Centre to Yerrabi Pond. A few, maybe 3-4, peeled off and stayed in the trees on the edge of Mulanggari. This was around 3:25pm.
