never seen that many Corellas

They were on the lawn infront of the Hastings Police Station, when suddenly all of them took off .

Good one.  A lot of them are carrying grass or whatever they've picked up off the lawn.

They would have been very noisy.  We have flocks of several 100 (they have a rotation of tall trees to roost in at night) and they set up quite a racket.

There were at least 4x as many, I couldn't get them in one frame of the big lens. That's why they are a bit blurrycrying, I would have had to stand in the middle of the road.

I saw a flock like that at Easter heading up to the Bunya Mountains. It must have been several hundred at least.

Awesome work M-L!

Yeah, that one looks pretty odd Shirley.

I think it's actually a left wing (no yellow underside) on the "down" stroke...
