On a Tamworth Birdwatchers outing to Gunnedah last Saturday. We were lucky enough to have a sighting of a Swift Parrot. It was in flowering gums in Black Jack State Forest on the outskirts of town. We were able to watch it for quite a while as it fed quietly in the area, but for most of the time it was obscured by leaves. There was a lot of discussion as we gradually saw different diagnostic features. One member was adamant the rest of us were wrong, but luckily photos taken by two members were able to confirm the sighting. Pretty exciting as we don’t often see them up here.
