Bird Sighting at Dunkeld,Vic

Sorry- obvious to everyone that I meant Scarlet-CHESTED, blame my excitement..

They were quite close to my drive feeding on grass until the car was at close proximity. I did have a good look and they were striking- vivid red chest, blue head and as they scurried off in opposite direction, predominantly green all over back with a tinge of blue. They appeared to be the size of a Blue-winged Parrot, not nearly as large as a Crimson or Easter Rosella.

Hope this helps

Margaret
