Birdline Australian Capital Territory Published sightings for the week ending 14 Dec 2014. Fri 12 Dec Powerful Owl Turner Bowling Club Very large Ninox owl with orange irides, dark eye patches and prominent grey chevrons on pale underparts. Yellow feet and barred undertail. Roosting in the customary large Quercus pallustris at the Bowling Club. PJ Milburn Tue 9 Dec Superb Parrot Jamison Oval (Macquarie) About 0640hrs, found a flock of approximately 60-80 Superb Parrots (adults, dependent young & half-coloured birds) feeding on the Jamison Oval and in the gutters of the Jamison Shops car park too. As I drove through there each other morning this week, I could hear the Superbs, but didn’t seem to be as many as on Tuesday. I realise Superb sightings are becoming much more common in the ACT in recent years, but I’ve never seen a flock this size before. Adam FitzGerald
