User's notes

Female and ??juvenile?? (green colouring, didn't appear as competent a flyer!) seen but not photographed. Two (possibly same two) also seen at Mt Franklin shelter. Is this a higher altitude than usual for King Parrots? Don't think I've seen them at Franklin before.

I would not have thought Mt Franklin would be too high an altitude for King Parrots. Chris
