| | Swift Parrot
51 Bay View Road, Dover |
| Swift Parrots feeding in flowering blue gums (Eucalyptus globulus) on the foreshore in front of Driftwood Cottages. Very noisy. There first thing in the morning and still there until nightfall. Difficult to estimate numbers as they constantly move around and fly off for a short period and return. There are five mature blue gums together on the foreshore.
Note extra information….I counted 18 Swift Parrots flying out of the blue gums in small groups or as a single bird …8+1+2+2+2+1+2 at 4.55 pm. eBird checklist |

51 Bay View Road, Dover |
| Arrived at ‘Driftwood Cottage’ late afternoon. Swift Parrots were noisily feeding in the Eucalyptus globulus (in flower) until nightfall. Hard to confirm numbers, as anyone trying to count Swift Parrots could testify, as they flew off and returned. There was probably 20+ individuals. eBird checklist |
