Hi Brian
About 50 Topknots flew into a tree yesterday, all perched in lines
along the branches - great to see. They were there for a few minutes
, then flew off. Location about 9 km west of Nimbin NSW. I've been
seeing them on & off for a couple of weeks now. Probably feeding on
Privet.
Cheers
Tony
Hey birders, anyone seen any Topknots over the last few months?
There were many around Bellingen (mid north coast NSW) in April,
gearing up for the regular Camphor Laurel season, but by late May
they had almost all gone. The heavy autumn storms seem to have
knocked down much (all in places) of the Camphor Laurel fruit,
resulting in a poor crop. There are still occasional small flocks in
the Bellinger Valley (feeding on what? quite a few winter figs are
fruiting, but I haven't seen Topknots in them) and I have also seen
a few birds in temperate rainforest country in the mountains (maybe
feeding on Cissus?), but nowhere near the numbers of last winter.
So I was wondering if maybe there are big aggregations elsewhere?
Any info would be gratefully appreciated! Brian
