Bird irruptions and cicadas

["Alan Gillanders" <>]

Greetings,
I remain unconvinced about what happens to the birds during cicada peak 
events.
We have remnant patches of rainforest surrounded by grass. Where do the 
specialists go? The neighbouring forests are just as noisy. Birds are hard 
to find in these conditions, the noise is sometimes so loud as to be 
unpleasant or even painful and so the birders leave, creating an impression 
of fewer birds. This is something I'll have out with Max Moulds when I track 
him down.
Regards,
Alan
