A
flock of over a dozen Red Wattlebirds flew past my place (Scullin) this morning
heading West.
If someone wants to "join the dots" between
Jerrabomberra and Wamboin and hypothesise likely migration paths, we have
been getting 10s of thousands of mostly Yellow-faced Honeyeaters flying over
our place over the last few weeks. Small numbers of White-napes, and yesterday
several White-eareds. Today it's been pretty steady flocks all morning (so
far) - too busy with snakes and large skinks (Shingleback and Cunningham's
Skink) in the garden to look up and count! Ours fly from a south to
south-westerly direction and fly north to north-east, mostly following tree
lines.
