Carol, this makes more sense to me now because the first flocks of migrating
honeyeaters I saw (at Lawson, approx. 15 kms east of Katoomba) were heading
west. Then there seemed to be a shift northwards for a while, now they seem to
be heading in both directions (I guess it just depends when you're looking out
the window - some have been going south too - go figure!) I thought they would
have started petering out by now - I'm going to miss them when they do. They
like stopping off to feed in our Banksias (spinifolia, I think), so it would be
nice to plant some more.
While we're on flocks - this morning we saw flocks of 100 or so Feral Pigeons
flying over Bullaburra and Lawson - they didn't seem to have any particular
goal, just swooping around up high in fairly tight formations. Any idea what
that's about?
cheers,
Arwen
