This morning I found the behaviour of 6 Rainbow Lorikeets to be interesting. They seem to be making themselves a new home.

Mallee Whipbird
Cape Du Couedic
At least 4 pairs loudly calling in roadside vegetation early in the morning (dawn) between Cape Du Couedic and Weir Cove. Were very accommodating with multiple exceptional views. Exciting after dipping at Innes National Park earlier in the year. (Disappointing to see trampled mallee vegetation in this area - hoping it wasn't caused by over zealous and short-term thinking twitchers as I suspect if it continues it won't be so easy to see this special bird in future!!)
