There has been at least one pair of Superb Parrots at the Kambah adventure playground and/or Jenke Circuit, on each of a small number of visits by me there
over the last 10 days (including Monday). I had one fly over my house on last July GBS week (i.e. in early August) and I believe another heard (just one sound) yesterday, though I’m not entirely sure that wasn’t Bowerbird mimicry.

Two flew west over MacArthur this morning. First for this location for me.

I was confidently predicting regularly from April onwards that the Superbs were going to leave the Hughes/Garran area but in fact I think we can now describe them as overwinterers in this area.
The bulk of them seem to have left this area through June, but during July I saw and heard the odd bird. Since the beginning of August I have been seeing and hearing larger groups, with a flock of over ten yesterday.
