#188 - Orange-bellied Parrot - undisclosed location, Victoria, June 11

I found myself with a spare hour or two this morning, so I got up early and went to look for the super mega endangered Orange-bellied Parrot. And I managed to find two! They were at a certain "not so secret location" that I won't disclose, but quite a few birders have already been to that exact location and seen THREE birds. Unfortunately, I only saw TWO. I can't help but worry about the whereabouts of that third bird... This was a massive lifer, and a real privilege to see such a rare and beautiful bird in the wild.

EDIT: 3 were seen later in the day and on the next day as well!!!
