Location: 2 km North of Dunkeld-southern most tip
of the Grampians National Park in South West Victoria.
Hope some-one can help me in identifying a group of
approx.10 birds feeding on long grass in my front paddock this morning.
Sure enough I was in a rush and had no binoculars with me but on searching
through my Pizzey and Knight Field Guide, I am quite sure they were Scarlet
Crested Parrots. Is this possible resulting from the drought and extremely
dense smoke coverage around the nearby ranges?
Any suggestions warmly welcomed.
Cheers,
Margaret
