As usual during the depths of the cold season winter-bare trees in our area are suddenly bejewelled with large red and green inflorescences which, in reality, are King
Parrots. On Saturday morning 27 June 2020 we saw a flock wheeling about the area, stopping in trees just long enough to allow an accurate count of sixteen which is probably the largest I’ve noted hereabouts. Every day since we’ve seen duos and trios and groups
of up to nine. After about three minutes they suddenly spear off out of the area usually heading north east.
