I'm assuming this is part of the same group of birds seen earlier in the evening? Some had come down to our bird bath for an evening drink then I'm guessing flew off to their nightly roost.
Audio/video at the bird bath.
Unfortunately it is obscured by a grevillea however you can just see them & hear their calls.
The photos are of some birds that remained in the tree above.

July 11 2022. If it is, they're Carnaby's and it was a young juvenille back then.
I heard them way before I saw them. I'm guessing 20 - 30 birds from east heading west. Possibly a mixed group with Baudin's?

Not exactly a great photo for ID.

Maybe 14 birds feeding on marri seeds. The last photo may be a Carnaby's? Possibly a mixed group.
The female is definitely Baudin's however is the male Baudin's or Carnaby's?
There was another 4 - 6 birds in the marri further back day roosting which I believe to be Carnaby's bc's.
