There are some Swift Parrot at Ellalong. A small group were seen there a few days
ago by Jenny Meynell, and I saw 4 birds there this afternoon on my way home
after the weekend. Apparently on Saturday there were about 20 birds
there. There were also a small group of Musk Lorikeet seen at various
times - I found 3 birds today.
Ellalong is a small and pretty village near
Cessnock in NSW. It's main claim to fame for birdo's is a large lagoon
that can sometimes have good birds at it. The Swift Parrot are feeding in
flowering gum trees near the corner of Watson St and Sheddon St, in an area
that is sub-divided for sale.
