A quick lunchtime trip around the Bellarine Peninsula today and I discovered (not hard given the amount of noise they were making) a flock of Little Corellas at St Leonards Lake Reserve (
View Map). It was difficult to count numbers as they were scattered among the eucalypts on both sides of the lake but I estimate 200-300 birds. I have seen one or two Little Corella here previously but never in these numbers. I suspect they've flown south because of the floods inland.

Hundreds of corellas are at Indented Head on Seascape drive every day. They are very noisy between 6.30-8.30am. They sit on your roof and TV antennas. My TV antennas is completely bent from the weight of these birds. We haven't had them here in such large numbers, well I have only lived here since 2010. I have also seen quite a few Tawny frog mouths in the evenings.
