Hi all,
Just letting you know there are at least 30 Swift
Parrots in Bowman Park in Bardon now. A few weeks ago one could spend half
an hour there for a glimpse or less, but now they are easily seen in flocks of
up to 20.
Brisbane birders, look in the row of tall Forest
Red Gums at the corner of Cecil and Chiswick Roads, and ignore the stares of the
bus commuters! The Swifts have been feeding on the nectar of these six or
seven trees (all with trunks around 65-80 cm in diameter) and I have had no
difficulty (as I did in early June) in seeing them foraging.
