User's notes
Small flock of at least 4, probably around 8, in trees both sides of Kings Avenue at intersection with Blackall St.
They were there yesterday evening, and still there lunchtime today, moving between deciduous trees on south side of Kings Ave and conifers and gums on north side.
Constant chattering call.
Poor photo, but males yellow cheeks are visible.
