Hi Arwen,
Could the pigeons be racing pigeons? Owners let them out most days
for exercise, and they fly around 'aimlessly' in tight groups.

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
