David Geering asks about coastal
observations south of Jervis Bay. Here, between Merimbula and Eden, the
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters usually begin passing through in a steady stream of
0000's from the end of April. We are still waiting! There have only been
small (50+) groups,occasionally. Similarly the White-naped which accompany
them in smaller numbers have been absent. Red Wattlebirds which also come
a few weeks later in even greater numbers and over a wider path did not appear
either. The hazard reduction burn-offs created large ammounts of dense
smoke which did not get away quickly this year. Would that have re-routed
the birds?
