Early morning observations in the Murrumbidgee Corridor this morning
revealed a marked movement of Little Ravens northward. Six flocks
passed overhead, the smallest numbering 15 and the largest 32
individuals.
At around 14:00, a flock of Rainbow Bee-eaters passed over O'Connor
heading north. The birds were at very high altitude, strongly
reminiscent of flocks of Common Bee-eaters on migration in the
northern hemisphere. Although we have not recorded this species in
the 5 months we have been living here this may still have been
local dispersal. Has anyone else recorded Bee-eaters moving north
today?
