Regent Parrots and Purple Crowned Lorikeets

Hi Don

I guess you are coming by plane to Tullamarine?  If so, have a look around 
the gums in the car park over the road(s) from the front of the terminal for 
PCLs.
They nest at the nearby Woodlands Historic Park (previously Gellibrand Hill 
Park) which has a lot of old River Red Gums (their favourite?) and Grey Box 
and, if they call, it is a 4-5 km walk to get in to the natural areas of the 
park (wish they had a nearby entrance so it would be only 2km).
A map of the park is at 
http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/resources05/05_0490.pdf    Google maps gives 
good views of its location.
> From memory the best areas to look are the more open woodland from the 
historic homestead to the Back Paddock, as far as the creek.  But I've also 
seen PCLs often towards the Somerton Rd Picnic Area.
