There was a flock of 16 Red Wattlebirds flying north this morning (a bit
to the north of Bungendore). Flocks of about fifteen birds, of
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters mixed with a few White-naped honeyeaters, were
flying north or north north-west in the vicinity of the Burrinjuck road
this morning. The exceptions were birds feeding and a flock which took
off and flew south - possibly because the car frightened them into it.

The honeyeater migration through Jerrabomberra tapered off last week.
Flocks were more variable in size and generally smaller (6-70) and
passing less frequently. Composition was predominantly Yellow-faced
with about 10% White-naped. I did see one Fuscous and one Eastern
Spinebill also. Since Friday there has been virtually none (possibly
due to the brisk south-easterly wind) and there has been nothing so
far this morning.
