At about 9am today, I saw 21 RWBs flying over in an
easterly direction in groups of up to about ten in number. They stopped on
each major tree they encountered in my GBS area. I was only outside for
couple of minutes and I don't know whether it was just a segment of a much
larger overfly.
The local pair of RWBs were obviously quite bemused
and cackled away for some time after the main group had left the
area.
I have never seen more than a resident family in
the area before. Why would there be a migration (if that is what I was
observing) in December?
