Went to Green Cape on Sunday. Very windy. Was intrigued by the arrival from 11.15 onwards of groups of migrating honeyeaters, mainly Yellowfaced, about 20+ at a time, from the southern slope. Why would they fly the length of the peninsula? Off to New Zealand?No, they took shelter in the mediium sized bushes on the inland side of the lighthouse. Then returned by the way they came (did they know there was a peregrine falcon waiting on the northern slope?). Wind was increasing. Were they just visiting? Maybe young ones which had never seen a lighthouse before?
