I can report a large flock (possibly 50) Silvereyes in my garden in Deakin
this morning, including ssp. lateralis.  The flock also contained 5 Spotted
Pardalotes and 3 Superb Fairy-wrens.  I have had a flock of up to 20 Red
Wattle-birds feeding furiously in eucalypts around my place for the last
couple of weeks.  This morning they kept flying into the trees housing the
MFF causing a cloud of small birds to emanate from the tree.  Starlings,
magpies, currawongs and Eastern Rosellas formed a surrounding chorus.  An
Eastern Spinebill (first for the season for my GBS) was heard nearby.

On arrival at the ANU, I saw none of Milburns raptors, but 2 Grey Currawongs
made their presence known.
