RE: Fw: [canberrabirds] Weebills again

In the Latham area there have been regular recordings of Weebills in the last few months.

It is a new species for our garden list this year and they seem to be fairly regular.  I record them about every fortnight at present.

My comments on Weebills and also Rod's were not just concerning recent higher numbers but also presence in areas where they normally don't occur, and this already over a few months.

 

 

Harvey Perkins says:

I have noticed Weebills to be more prevalent than usual over the past few months (probably all summer - I should check my GBS records) in the area around my place in Summerland Cct Kambah. I don't know that numbers are necessarily higher as it is difficult to know whether they are the same or different groups moving about (and Weebills are one of the species I find difficult to estimate numbers well, as many records are based on calls only), but I am certainly recording them on a much more regular basis.

 

The same applies to our GBS in Hackett – we are some distance from Ainslie-Majura and Weebills are a rare occurrence on the chart, maybe one or two records a year.  Over the last month or so I have been regularly recording this species every few days - numbers seem comparable with previous years but frequency is certainly higher.
