more Superb parrots in Waramanga ovals, Sun 20 July

["sandra henderson via Canberrabirds " <>]

They are still around Doug, even with kids in the playground - some in school grounds, some on that bottom field - feeding under eucs on pretty bare ground. Have you noticed the female with several yellow spots on it’s back? Didn’t have my camera, and phone
 photo not great, but spots are actually bright yellow. Some in trees but about 20 on the ground

Further to my earlier observation of 53 birds, 76 seen this afternoon 20^th July,  mainly feeding in one small corner inside Arawang Primary School grounds, foraging (for roots, seeds?) under fallen leaf litter from a grove of deciduous trees lining boundary fence. Initially saw ~ 30, remainder arriving at intervals in groups of no less than 10 at a time. Continued to feed for about 20 mins, most flew off in north-westerly direction. Might be a different story tomorrow with school resuming after the holidays.
