Hi Don
Good to hear you are back in the land of parrots for some more filming!
(For those who don't know, Don produced a couple of DVDs about Australian
Parrots two years ago ...
http://polytelismedia.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/journey-to-australia-to-the-land-of-parrots/
Or via the local documentary distributor for schools and libraries:
http://www.parrots.org/marcom/ozdvd/index.html )
I thought the coverage was comprehensive, but you must be a hard man to
please if you are coming back to get more footage!
What Tim Dolby COULD have told you is that he has just launched his latest
book, co-authored with Rohan Clarke: "Finding Australian Birds: A field
guide to birding locations"
http://www.publish.csiro.au/pid/6518.htm
Sadly, I missed the launch in Melbourne last week, but I made very good use
of the book on a recent road trip to Brisbane!
I've copied this reply to birding-aus in case newer members wonder why you
want to know about breeding sites - that may ring alarm bells for anyone
who doesn't know your credentials.
Hope you enjoy your next trip and find plenty of parrots!
Kind regards
Russell
