I was out surveying at Bullocks Paddock Road (F14) and south off it on Sinclair Crs (F15) this afternoon. Yellow-Faced Honeyeaters: 12 flying north @ 1249, 3 flying west @ 1431, 11 flying north-west @ 1436, 7 flying north @ 1440 (accompanied by 2 White-naped Honeyeaters; also White-naped Honeyeaters, 7 flying north-west @ 1420. There were also two lots of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters one of two, one of about five, which were feeding rather than migrating. There were a lot of Red-browed Finches, including one flock of 23 birds. I suspect that it is a bit like Finch Central - lots of the herbivores were killed by the fires, the fires also created a flush of annuals bearing seeds and the finches are doing well out of the combination.
