Perhaps they've started their Autumn flocking early - that tends to take
them out of their regular territories.

Subject: Scarcity of Wattlebirds
Red Wattlebirds are normally common around Ivanhoe and I suppose in
most Melbourne
suburbs.
This morning I heard a few calls from a Little Wattlebird in our
garden, which
reminded me that I hadn't seen or heard any, either Red or Little, here
for at least
three weeks. (Locally the Little WB tends to be a winter-spring bird).
Last week I did not see or hear any RWBs at Banyule Flats. However at
Wilson Reserve
there were about two Red Wattlebirds near the Yarra.
I suppose we have to blame the drought. But where have they gone?
