Nice work Roy. Great set of photos.
Really like your pair of Corella's on the branch.
Great shots, Roy. I'm curious about Capalaba Regional Park. Where is it & what sort of environment is it?
If you search Google Maps for "Capalaba Regional Park" you can zoom in and out to see the exact location. It is a large protected parkland with kilometres of concrete walking/cycling paths that pass by natural waterways like the Tingalpa Creek. Very popular childrens playground with adventure area (flying fox, suspension bridge and other playground items) fenced off to protect the children. Large grasslands and natural native trees/shrubs. At the top of the area is bbq facilities and covered tables with benches. In the middle of the parklands there is a fenced, off-leash dog area. I have attached a photo to give you some idea of the size of the park. This photo is a very small portion of the park.
Got it, Roy. Right on the edge of town in Queensland. Thanks. Would the grasslands be native grasslands or exotic grasses? There are isolated examples of councils promoting indigenous grasses in their plantings which will attract seed eating native birds if there's other good habitat to support them.
Nice set of photos Roy. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing the photo of the Corellas made me wonder if someone here might be able to answer a question for me. There is a flock of corellas that hang out at Wynnum Foreshore, near the childrens park and wading pool. Of an afternoon they head down towards Manly then over Lota and I presume head to Wellington Point where I have seen a flock hangong out near the Redlands Sports Club. Is this flock the same one that also hangs out at Capalaba or is that a differnet group of birds?
I'll have to check it out sometime. Nice set of photos.By the way your Wood Duck is actually a Pacific Black Duck, but you probably already know that.

I think there are a number of flocks in the region as I have taken photos of corellas in large flocks at Cleveland Point (near the lighthouse), Wellington Point (in the park near the boat ramp), Capalaba Regional Park and Victoria Point. Most photos have been taken at nearly the same time of day.
