Hello Chris
Interesting observation and great photos. August 2013 at Myroodah
Crossing; 18'04.880"S, 124' 13.656"E , many hundreds, perhaps more
than 1000 birds comprising several swarming flocks and feeding around
long dense seeding cane grass clumps for about 150 metres along bush
track winding adjacent to the southern margin of Fitzroy River, starting
not more than about 50 metres east of the road. Great camping spot
too. Also, years ago on this forum I wrote about about flocks of Star
Finch that frequent the Maleleuca swamps at Wyndham (three mile)
township. We lived there for eight years during the nineties and the
best area for them were the dense tea tree clumps about 250 m South West
of the Caravan Park.

The most Star Finch I've ever seen by a long shot in a tree beside the Miaree
Pool. Usually in small numbers but this lot were having a conference. I was
wondering whether others have recorded them in large groups?
