I am having difficulty distinguishing between superb parrots and Rainbow Lorikeets calls.  As I stood at the opposite of the Garran covid vaccination clinic I thought I heard the rainbow lorikeets but my bins revealed at least six superb parrots (mainly males as far as I could tell).  They were joined by a rainbow lorikeet!
As I continued my walk along a bushy sidewalk below Red Hill Lookout on the side of the Federal Golf course (do you understand??) I encountered a mixed feeding flock which consists of usual members such as grey fantails, spotted partadoles and thornbills AND a male scarlet robin. This made my day perfect.
