Hi Belinda,
Not long after Paul Walbridge's sighting of 7 Swift Parrots near Helidon
I had 2 swifties fly over me on the main street of Toowoomba! That was
last week (yes I know I have been slack in posting this, apologies)
Tuesday 8 May, at the junction of Margaret and Hume St, near Queen's
Park. I didn't see their colouring clearly, but their distinctive call
alerted me and I looked up to see the two parrots flying very swiftly(!)
and directly, with their long spiky tails a clear feature.
I will definitely try to get out this weekend for the survey as swifties
are obviously about around Toowoomba.
Cheers,
Plaxy Barratt

Subject: Swift Parrot and Regent Honeyeater Surveys
Hi Birders,
A reminder that the first national Swift Parrot and Regent Honeyeater
survey for the year is coming up on the weekend of the19-20th May. For
those not able to get involved on those exact dates, we also include the
week previous and following in the survey effort; and of course we want
to hear about any sightings outside these dates as well. Currently there
are volunteers involved from Vic, NSW, ACT, Qld and SA and we can always
do with some more help to cover the large migratory range of these
species.
I have been interested to read the postings so far for this year and
would like to know as much as possible about the birds activity and
habitat use where they are seen. Survey forms are available from the
following web address:
http://www.threatenedspecies.environment.nsw.gov.au/tsprofile/profile.as
