Last Friday 22-4-05 I saw two flocks of Red Wattle Birds flying over the Uriarra Crossing Road where the high voltage power lines cross the road.  They were only about three minutes apart and were flying in a North-Easterly direction. The first flock was 60 with the second containing around 50 birds.

We saw a fairly impressive flock of Red Wattlebirds (though might not have been as many as 60-70) near Birragai last Sunday travelling in a generally north-easterly direction

Having just arrived at work I looked out my window to see some 60-70 Red Wattlebirds flying over my building in an easterly direction in a loose flock. They seemed to come from the west, Stirling Park or the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin (LBG). My work is located by Commonwealth Avenue in Parkes (ACT). This is the largest single group of RW I have seen.

Each autumn morning I also notice small groups of Cockatoos and Corellas flying east from their night roosts. They can be seen flying from the direction of LBG.

Cheers
