User's notes
across the road from the Lake these were snoozing and sunning in the afternoon. While we were at this location John Bundock drove past where we were standing and mentioned he had just been seeing a nice lot of Swift Parrots over at the end of the Lake, this would have been the same time when we were seeing them here. So it was interesting to know that they are just going back and forth as they feel like it. More difficult to find these today as they were snoozing so not making much chatter noise. Not quite as many here at this location at this time, they were spread out in several trees in the area and high up.
