Regarding NF observations: Was down at Albury
during the weekend and chanced upon the Chiltern Park Rest Stop on the Hume
Highway (heading south in Victoria). The 15 minute walk into Chiltern-Mt.Pilot
Park advertised from this rest stop turned into a 2 hour exercise. Have never
experienced so many Honeyeaters in one place. Principally, a cacaphony of Noisy
Friarbirds, but included a mass of Yellow-tufted, many Red Wattlebirds, Fuscous,
White-plumed, Brown-Headed, White-naped, Black-chinned as well as a few Little
Friarbirds and even the odd YFHE. Unbelievable riot of song silenced by
advancing rain. Retreated to Rutherglen for rumination of this flood of birds
and purchase of stickies...
Next day were still several NFs in the area around
Chiltern but nowhere near the cacaphony. Was this "normal" or did I catch a wave
of birds in migration from other parts?
