I saw my first two Cattle Egrets for the season yesterday (23/3) while cycling to work. They were attending some cattle along the Yarra River flats near Heidelberg, some kilometres north-east of the city. To follow your theme, Rainbow Lorikeets are becoming abundant in parts of Melbourne. Noisy flocks have been feeding in Sugar Gum (Eucalyptus cladocalyx) blossoms at my home for some weeks now, and this morning I saw them feeding on Peppercorn (Schinus molle) seeds, something I had not seen before. No Avocets seen, but I agree, they are beautiful birds! Cheers Ian |
