Seven birds seen from vicinity of large Eucalyptus in E. corner- most first seen on ground; later the last (yellow & ) flew from this same tree. The seven remained together while running pan ace; after I returned to the Ovo. Hotel, saw 2 O together in the N corner, who flew to cover in tall grass on NE side, where others were last seen.
