User's notes
Photo is posted because on 12th December 2023 there were two male Super Parrots in these trees. Additionally I'd like to make the point that Superb Parrots have flown through Flynn quite regularly in Spring - Summer 2023 - 2024. And in the last week. They have been seen around Mt Rogers feeding on Acacia capsules or, earlier in Spring on the ground (Chickweed the possible food). 5 have sometimes been seen flying together.
