    Details

    Counted 18 individual birds them estimated groups of 60, 30, 20 20, 30, 10. All these SCC and the Little Corellas flew north over site at 4:50pm. They had been gathering in the area for 35 mins before the communal flight eg, on footpath, trees and powerlines. Please not that none roosted along Aspinall St. At 4:58 30 SCC flew over site. This group not counted for survey purposes as it is likely they are some of the same birds passing over again. ? At 5:10pm groups of 60 and 30 flew over North Watson, towards Old Watson. My guess is these are the birds I counted coming back to roost at Irvine St, Watson or another site.
