Observation details
Heard first. I immediately looked up to see about eight of them flying overhead. Jay to crow sized bird with long thin tails in flight. No plumage details against the overcast skies. Later saw another four in flight after again hearing them first. At least this time I saw them against a darker background and could see the green bodies and red faces, or masks. Second glimpse was good enough to count as a lifer, but still no chance for photos. Second glimpse was while enjoying the view from the Brisbane community pool. Finally saw them fly into a tree near the Brisbane post office where I was able to take a few documentary photos. Yay!
