Date: Saturday, July 11, 2015
Location: Flagstaff Hill Golf Club Adelaide Sth Aust.
Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii) (1) Call heard clearly (as an unknown for
the Club) and using a monocular found. Excellent view (of male) from front
below with full body and breast colours clear. Second bird heard approx 40M

So far from region that would surely be aviary escapees???

Date: Monday, July 13, 2015
Location: On our Rockleigh property
Diamond Firetail (Stagonopleura guttata) (4) The firetails were in our
burnt-out "Amazon Jungle", which is now partly recovering and less unworthy of
the name "Jungle". This is the first time we have been spotted them there.
Before Trees for Life direct-seeded in 2009 there were 4 eucalypts and a couple
of golden wattles in about 4 hectares. Now there are hundreds of gums up to 3
metres high, and birds are always there. Roos like it too, as there is shelter
from the icy winds that roar in from the west.
