G’day all,
For the first time this year I had a very few
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters moving through the trees in what passes for a garden at
my house in Kaleen this morning. The maximum number was about 10 and the rush
lasted about 15 minutes. What did surprise me was a very vocal Noisy Friarbird
in a large Blakely’s Red Gum In a neighbour’s yard around midday carrying
on as though he had just arrived for spring. Usually when this species moves
away from Kaleen it does so quietly. I suppose the days are still rather warm
and have confused a few species as to exactly what time of year it is. I have
also heard lots of Silvereyes over the last two weeks but haven’t been
out to check if the Tasmanian subspecies has arrived here yet.
