User's notes
I was delighted yesterday evening and then again this evening to see a large flock of Superb Parrots grazing on the grass as I walked down past the school to the local shops. Sorry for the poor quality but the best I could do from a distance with my phone. If you look closely you will see quite a number grazing in the school grounds.
