Sydney at the moment seems to invaded by Musk
Lorikeets. I can't avoid seeing them wherever I go. Upto 30 have been around my
area in Seven Hills for atleast the last 6 weeks, first attracted to a very good
flowering season of Grey Box (E.mollucanna) and then a good burst of flowering
Broad-leaved Papperbarks. I have also seen an Australian Hobby and the following
morning, a Peregrine Falcon (and at around the same time) whiz past the flocks
of Musks over the last week. David Koffel also tells me he has seen about 60
around Oatley, and Dean Portelli has also seen about a dozen Musks recently at
his place in Westmead.
I have also seen Musks at Redfern Station in the inner city,
on my may way to work, during the last couple of weeks. I saw about 9 Musks fly
over there this morning where I thought I also heard a Swift Parrot!!!!!. Will
have my ears much tuned in tommorow morning.
