Four of these impressive looking parrots flew in from the south, over my head in a diamond-shaped formation, towards Black Mountain. I initially thought they had flown on past Campbell Park until I heard them nearby and saw them in a tree. The bird in the photograph started lower on the branch but climbed up to where he is in the photograph. When he was at the top of the branch he called out. He was constantly looking towards the north. Without any apparent reason the three other birds flew off to the north. After a few seconds this bird also flew off in that direction.
Many thanks for the information Waltruad, the direction makes perfect sense. I am glad there are pine trees around to attract these birds. All the best
