User's notes
There were around 40 in this flock, flying in and out from surrounding trees. Also feeding with them were two species of pigeons, eastern rosellas, noisy miners, magpies and there was a lone young king parrot at one stage. I tried to get some close ups to illustrate what they were grazing on? Most of them flew south in a group late in the evening.

Hard to tell what they are feeding on - but appears to be on surface - so not a species with a bulb, Will hav a look myself
