Swift Parrot at Connie Lowe Reserve,Adelphi St, Rouse Hill reported by Mark Fuller on 17-08-2018
Arriving at 7:45am I watched the flock of Swift Parrots move from left to right among a stand of trees, feeding on some flowers but mainly lerps on the wet leaves. At first Musk and Rainbow Lorikeets were also present, later Wattlebirds and Noisy Friarbirds arrived. I counted 16 as they flew off around 9am.
