Hi Edwin
AND the 40 hectare Cumberland Plain Woodland in the recently
gazetted Silverwater Nature Reserve (formerly the Royal Australian Navy
Armaments Depot - RANAD) at Homebush Bay. This site, although small,
supports a high number of parrot species including Galahs, Sulphur-crested
Cockatoos, Red-rumped Parrots, Rainbow Lorikeets, Eastern Rosellas and Crimson
Rosellas which nest at high densities in the natural hollows provided. Not
uncommon to record often three nesting pairs in the one tree.
Cheers
Peter
Regards,
Peter
