Hi Anthea,
Rainbow Bee-eaters are still reasonably common along Hovell's Creek at the
You Yangs.

Subject: Rainbow Bee-eaters at Woodlands? PS
I wasn't clear enough when I enquired about Rainbowbirds at Woodlands.
I meant Woodlands Historic Park out near Tullamarine.
Ten years ago they were summer breeding migrants and regularly nested
along the upper parts of Moonee Ponds Creek. They were a delight to see.
I am wondering if the local population was done in by a very cold snap
in February or March a few years ago, which is said to have killed
Rainbowbirds overnight in their nest burrows all over southern Victoria.
I wish I wasn't so hazy about dates!
Are there any at the You Yangs still? We used to see them there.
