Hi Kath,

Very good of you to check your records, thank you. How interesting that you have some winter records, suggesting that immature affinis gullbills may overwinter in Darwin. I know so very little about this subspecies, and it's very interestng to learn what has appeared on b-a in the past few days.

Cheers,

Jill

Just to confirm Denise's comments re this subspecies in NT.
I just checked the Leanyer/Lee Point, Darwin records, which are
continual records from 1974. First record of affinis is in November
1978, thereafter, they occur each year.
(Records ceased at end of 1986.) Although principally seen during the
wet season months, there were also some records in July and August.
