Peter,
Off the top of my head, Princess Parrot and Night Parrot.
As for sitting for hours, well it works. That is how I managed to see Gurneys.
An hour and a half sitting off U trail, wearing an improvised yowie suit did
it for me.
As for birding with a group, well that is a good way of not seeing birds, in my
experience.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
