RFI: Eastern Ground Parrot

By Birding-Aus, on October 24th, 2015

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the information. I knew they were there, but thought there might be a findable population to the north and closer as well. According to the information I can find/have been given, they are not reliable till the Port Macquarie area to the North. Well, ok, so there are/were the Malabar birds, but my understanding is that no more have been seen there for several years and the source of the two birds is still slightly controversial? Has anyone searched the Malabar area lately? If someone knows better, I think it would be helpful for the group to know. I certainly would appreciate the information.

From the car park head out the service track to the met station and slowly walk along this track. The first morning we heard it in the Heath 200 impenetrable metres ahead from the end of the track. The second morning one flushed from the side of the track several times about 100 m past the met station. > Good luck > Chris > > Christine Melrose > > cmelrose099@gmail.com > +61 407705140 > >> On 24 Oct 2015, at 17:54, Kai Schraml < kaischraml@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Good afternoon everyone, >> >> I’d like to have a look for Eastern Ground Parrot.
