Hi Birders,
While the Swift Parrots have decined around Bateau Bay where the Swamp
Mahogany has almost finished flowering, they appeared to have move across to
the Budgewoi area where the Forest Red Gum is flowering well in the streets,
backyards and foreshore reserves. Today I located 28+ Swift Parrots in Buff
Point Drive, between Matumba Ave and Nacooma Ave, but particularly in the
foreshore reserve at the end of Matumba Avenue. The trees near the car park
where the Swift Parrots were seen, were the very same trees used in 2004!
All up I saw and heard 28+ but there had to be many more. The area was alive
with Little Lorikeets (commonest lorikeet) , Musk and Rainbows, and during
this time a Sea-Eagle, Whistling Kite, and a Black Kite flew over, the
latter causing much concern to the Lorikeets and Noisy Miners, not so the
Eagle or the Whistling Kite.
