12th April 1999

Today the Yellow-faced Honeyeaters were flying over my street at a 
rate of between 700 and 2000 an hour, depending on the amount of 
cloud in the sky. The movement virtually stops whenever the sun goes 
behind a cloud, which suggests to me that perhaps they rely heavily 
on the sun for navigation.

Today they were also joined by the first small groups of White-naped 
Honeyeaters. Also on the move were flocks of 20-30 Silvereyes, a few 
Welcome Swallows, Red Wattlebirds, Noisy Friarbirds and Spotted 
Pardalotes.

Cheers,
Carol
