Beautiful sight. A mixed feeding flock of around 30 superb parrots, plus a number of immature(?) king parrots. We counted at least 23 superbs on the ground, then another 4 flew in, and there were another 3 or so hidden in a tree nearby. Wow!

I think they flew south west? But they could have just gone to the next oval, as they left en-masse because of a loud noise from passers by. The birds in the tree remained, then flew down to graze on the area vacated by the large flock.
