TURQUOISE PARROTS @ HIGH RANGE

Last Sunday, out at Nattai National Park, High Range (western Southern Highlands), someone came across a pair of Turquoise Parrots. This is an outstanding record. I'm not aware of any Turquoise Parrot records in the Highlands. Happy days. I'll have to get out there and chase them. I've only turned up one Turquoise Parrot since I began birding. It was in northern Sydney. LJ, 21 October 2014.

    Hi Lorne
    Turquoise Parrots are always a great find.
    I have seen them down in the Shoalhaven Valley (in Eucalypt open forest and heathland combination). I know the Catchment Authority had survey work done on the Woronora Plateau and again they were in sandstone heathlands.
    NPWS have an Atlas where you can report such unusual finds.
    Cheers
    Denis
