Birdpedia – Australia – Weekly Digest

The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period Monday, July 29, 2013 to Sunday, August 4, 2013: Area: SA Location: On our property in Critchley Road, Rockleigh Elegant Parrot (Neophema elegans) (6) This is only the second time we have seen elegant parrots; last was 2 years ago. They were fossicking on the ground in a treeless area late in the day, and were seen again today. Mistletoebird (Dicaeum hirundinaceum) (2) A pair of mistletoebirds (flying together) was another unusual sighting for our place, also last seen 2 years ago. Eurasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis) (2) And to complete a very successful birding day, a pair of skylarks performed what looked like a synchronised courting flight only 2 metres above the ground. Then one soared high and sang. Reported by: Barbara and Peter Bansemer on Monday, July 29, 2013 ——————————————— Need more information about a sighting? Login and contact the poster directly.
