Hazel, interesting.
For the 5-7 years or so before fires they were
regular around my area in small numbers in the neighbouring (sort of) suburb of
Chapman but no records at all since. Historically they have been
associated with flowering Grevillia juniperina along the Murrumbidgee, not that
far away from us.
For those of you who missed my anecdote at
Wednesday night's meeting about 1990 a work colleague had one with a band fly
into a window in Watson. On returning the band to the Banding office, Kim
Lowe, in charge at the time, said it had been banded in the Botanic Gardens, and
at the time was the largest movement for this species. Clearly not a long
distance migrant, but certainly some local movement which seems to be
happening now.
