User's notes
I spotted three unfamiliar ground feeding parrots. Turquoise Parrots?

They look like Turquoise Parrots to me - last record in the ACT was in 2018 via CNM, but on eBird it was 2022 at Bluetts Block (Uriarra). Do you have a location at where this was sighted, since I can't see one on this sighting?

Ah, I thought I had successfully put a pin on the map, but obviously not!
I saw them in the Burrinjuck area - south of Bookham alongside the Murrumbidgee River

Okay! Great sighting - first for the area on CNM since the others were sighted at Fyshwick and Booth in the ACT

I am fairly certain I saw one (adult female) in Gundaroo last April but no evidence unfortunately.
