Swift Parrots in Cowes

["Elizabeth Shaw" <>]

Hi everyone,
While I was doing one of my surveys  yesterday I confirmed my suspicion that 
Swift parrots are around at the moment.  I saw at least two in Dusmore Rd and 
another 2-4 (or maybe the same two another couple of times) in Blue Gum Reserve 
on my way home.  I had my suspicions a few weeks ago when I saw larger groups 
(up to 20+) of parrots flying around the area not quite behaving or sounding as 
the usual Rainbow Lorikeets.  Of course I never had binoculars handy when I saw 
them and they were going too fast, high and far to chase on foot.
Perhaps others in the area should look at flocks of parrots a bit more closely 
- just in case.
Cheers
