Observation details
Well!! This was the definite highlight for me; it was only the second time I've ever seen Rainbows at Goulds, the first since 2017-18, and even the first actually good photos I've managed to bag of Rainbows in Tasmania!! The first little flock of four hurtled over so quickly towards the North End that I was wondering if I'd seen them wrongly... though the long tails seemed suggestive of my hunch being right. And then, as I went after them, a larger flock still came rocketing directly over my head for some very nice flight shots, and soon enough the entire contingent were swarming all over one of the trees in a cheery feeding-frenzy of gumnuts!!
