Agree with Myzo in previous post, very nice footage. What I found interesting was the amount of juveniles,as compared to the adults, looks like they had a good season, but I suppose it will thin out during the moult and natural predation.

Says NT, would be interesting to know where.
Reminded me of the Gouldian count, but I never managed to see those sort of numbers at any waterhole.
In the Kimberley, Long-tails and Mask's were more prevalent but most of the flocks were mixed.
Cheers

Yes Myzo from memory I havent seen all of those at the same hole at once before either.Myzomela wrote:Really nice footage Gomer. Thanks for the link.
Interesting to see amongst others the bloods & chestnuts in the second part of the footage.
I have seen 150 before at one place Brett, but not as pleasant as that water hole also I didnt have a good lens that year either.

Pretty sure it is Crimson finch...Nova wrote:Very nice to watch. At the 1:12min mark there was a red bird blurred in the foreground, any idea as to what it was?

Wherever it is, looks like that spot is a safe breeding ground. At least for now.
