Hi all
Saw my first Rufous Whistler for the season this
morning [and in this area] - just passing through - in the coastal park
near my home. Yellow-faced Honeyeaters moved through a few weeks
ago.
As I live towards the end of a very
narrow peninsula with Bass Strait to the south, Port Phillip Bay to the north
and the entrance to the bay to the west whenever I see a migrant 'passing
through' I am always intrigued as to where they have come from. As their
preferred habitat is east of here I always assume they have come across the bay
from probably the Queenscliff area as this would be the shortest distance for
them to travel across water. What other options are there?
Regards
Val
