I'm not 100% over this but I rate it fairly likely. This morning I was
wandering round Gungahlin hill. Its a hive of activity for rosellas,
Stratied Pardalotes and SC Cockies all staking out holes in trees....
While close to the Barton Hwy entry point a smallish green parrot shot
through mid level, flying very fast in the city direction parallel with
said Hwy. Smaller than a rosella, but with a notable long thin pointy
tail as if zoomed past (not short like a musk/little lorrikeet) and far
too small than a female/juv Superb parrot, which have similar such tails
when flying. Red-rumps are not 'rocket ships' like this bird when flying....
Motto, keep an eye out in the general area of North Canberra, it or
others might be elsewhere.
