A friend and I saw an oversized budgie, which we quickly decided was a
red-rump hen, feeding in Sydney Park today. The bird was feeding with a
group of crested pigeons and making short work of what ever it was eating.
An hour later the bird was still with the same flock eating away.
A small point about field guides. I've got three at home (Pizzy, Morecome
and Simpson and Day) and it's interesting to see which illustrator has drawn
the bird most like I saw it - in this case it is Nicholas Day.
There were also a lot of Fairy Martins (usually I only see the Welcome
Swallows).
cheers
storm
