I’ve tried again but doesn’t seem to work, so I’ll provide a description as u suggested.

Heard calling in heath quite close to road, the bird flushed soon after calling a second time, flew about 100 meters, landing next to our car on the road, before dashing back into the heath. Small, vibrant green parrot, yellow belly with black barring/spots clearly visible. Soon after flushed a second time flying directly towards us, giving clear views of the small red strip on its forehead.

I think the pic worked this time, the bird in in the centre of the image, but I can’t upload the version with an arrow pointing to it
