Observation details
The presence of permanent water here appears to make this the best location we found on this trip for the Lovebird. Initial sighting was two birds flying over shortly after we arrived; then six which spent some time in the tree tops alongside one of the lagoons (four of which are in the photo), followed by a flock of around 20 which spent some time feeding in the tree tops in the area. DNPW scouts confirmed that there is a resident population in this part of the floodplain, with more to be found in the hunting area to the east (which we did not have time to survey this trip).
