Despite the cloud and light breeze today honeyeaters have been on the move through Jerrabomberra constantly since about 8:30.  Flock sizes have been more variable  (between 15 and 200) but averaging 50-60.  Given the frequency of flocks passing I am seeing around 3,500 per hour.  The composition has changed also with about 10% White-naped and the remainder predominantly Yellow-faced.
