Hi All
Here at Sans Souci - Botany Bay - we have a
flock of never less than eight in residence which constantly screetch and
decorate the local pine/eucalypt and casurina trees with their presence. Most of
the day they can be seen wheeling about the suburb in their beautifully "untidy"
style of flight and I consider myself most fortunate. Problem is that it's hard
to get anything done as you tend to run to the window every time you hear them
coming around again. Sometimes the flock is joined by others and may be boosted
to more than 20. To memory, they first appeared in the area after bushfires
totally devastated the Royal National Park in the early 1990's. I would be
interested to know if anyone had seen them around Botany Bay prior to
this.
I've also seen them at Sydney Airport, Maroubra
and, on more than one occasion, on Cammeray Golf Course.
Cheers - Ricki
