Hi just to let everyone know that the swift parrots
are here again in Muckleford and have been since late March. Lately the
swfities have been feeding on the ground again, sometimes in large groups of up
to 100 birds. They seem to be feeding on lerp casings, shell grass seed heads
and the flowers of coffee bush. Have got some good shots on video. Will wait and
see how long they stay this year. Last year they arrived late April and left
early October. Regularly between 50 to 100 birds each day. They are spending
more and more time on the ground feeding, well over 2 hours. Catch you later Deb
Worland
