| Fri 30 |  | Swift Parrot
Maria Island National Park |
| First alerted by calls, then three flew over, heading south. Surrounded by E. globulus woodland. No photographs unfortunately as they were living up to their name as Swift Parrots but no doubt regarding identification. I first assumed them to be early arrivals but now I believe they may have overwintered. Observed with Sally Bryant. eBird checklist |
