** On Outing No 783 on 25 Apr 2021, a Neophema (unfortunately not calling) was seen over the Southern Effluent Holding Basin. It was bright green in colour and therefore suspected of being an Orange-bellied Parrot. Captive-bred birds were recently released nearby in Westernport Bay. Unfortunately it landed on an inaccessible island.  Pending confirmation of the species, the sighting has not been listed at this stage.
