Pretty sure these were Little Lorikeets - they had red faces through the binoculars and a shrill call. Can't wait to get my zoom lens camera back! They flew off to the south

Well done! First CNM sighting of this species. Rare in the ACT.

Hope they hang around! May be fire fugitives?

Usually found closer to the coast so a likely possibility.
