Hi all,
Thought I had a rare find
last weekend! While staying at Victor Harbour (80km SE from Adelaide) on the
Sunday morning I thought at first I was observing one and possibly two OBP's
eating grass seeds on the front lawn. The male was the closer of the two and was
initially only giving head and side-on views, the female was five metres further
away and the borrowed bins were in the 1960's vintage and not giving a clear
image. I could not see a blue nose bar on the male but a very yellowy-orange
belly was obvious from the side.
After several minutes of
head and side only, I finally got a rear view only to see a very red-rump!
Needless to say I was quite disappointed, although it was the first Red-Rumped
Parrots I had seen in the vicinity.
My question is have
OBP's been recorded at Victor Harbour before?? The town is about 30km west
of the Murray Mouth which I understand is there western
boundary?
Regards
Michael
