Superb Parrot, Lifer 352

On a trip with a birding buddy to the Chiltern area we explored the surrounding areas. While driving down one of the country laneways we came across a flock of parrots in a roadside forest. On inspection it turned out to be Superb Parrots and a lifer for the trip.

Birds in my local area

I often walk around my area looking to see what new birds may be passing through. I can find up to 35 species in my area – I back onto a creek (officially a storm water canal) that has been revegetated with native planting and this has had the effect of bringing in more birds to the area…there is quite a list building.
