We were most excited to see this one. It is an uncommon vagrant of the area.

Near the marina, some of these birds settle during the day, chasing off all other intruding birds, such as sulphur crested parrots

About a dozen of these birds set up a mournful tune as they look for food after dark. Their cries continue intermittently all night.
