This is interesting Richard. This is the same time of year that Bill Watson, Alexander Watson and I had Princess and Scarlet-chested Parrots in 2009 at Neale Junction. My research at the time indicated quite a few records over many years around that time of year for both species in the Neale Junction region. Yet last year at this time of year, a couple of expeditions failed to find them at Neale Junction.

Hello all,
? ? ? ? ? ? This afternoon I heard from Lorand Szucs, who reports that he has seen both Princess Parrots and Scarlet-chested Parrots at Neale Junction in recent days. ?Princess Parrot was relatively common and the area is ‘alive’ with birds ATM.
I dropped into Gluepot last week and the Scarlet-chested Parrots were still in the area of the ?Gypsum-lunette walk. ?We saw our first bird only 80m along the track from the car park. ?
Cheers
Richard Baxter”
