Blue-winged Parrots

"I think any of the bush tracks behind Airey's Inlet through to Anglesea 
would be suitable habitat for them at the moment however."

Blue-wings generally like to be near water from my experience (except for 
in wet forest areas of the western otways). I've never seen them in the 
drier forest areas behind Anglesea and Airey's inlet, apart from at the 
Reuse dam, and on certain parts of the Anglesea river. Generally larger, 
more open bodies of water.

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone that provided advice regarding Blue-winged Parrot along 
the 
Great Ocean Road.  I had numerous leads ranging from Queenscliff through 
to Cape 
Otway although most centred on the Airey's Inlet to Anglesea area. I didnt 
see 
any along the coast line, possibly because it is too busy with tourists 
these 
days.  


In the end Peter Fuller's spot at the Airey's Inlet Water Reuse Ponds 
proved the 
pick of the bunch. What a fantastic spot to go birding!   I heard them 
well 
before I saw them and saw a few Neophemas fly over very high up before I 
could 
finally i.d. without a doubt two BWP's in dead trees at the eastern end of 
the 
ponds.  I think any of the bush tracks behind Airey's Inlet through to 
Anglesea 
would be suitable habitat for them at the moment however.

Thanks again, for everyones advice.

Cheers,

Carl Billingham
Brisbane
