Hi
This is not particularly unusual as a number of species appear to do the
same thing. They must either pass at night, overwinter or, most likely
in my opinion, move south further inland, possibly, I suspect, along the
Great Dividing range using that for cover, direction and support. If you
think about it there is no real CONTINUOUS 'cover' for a lot of bush
type species along the coast. What still challengs my patience is birds
such as Wagtails that persist in arriving (?) in places like Newcastle
without a squeak in SEQ!!
One day, mate, one day.......
Cheers
Colin
