Some of the eucalypts along Limestone Avenue are currently either flowering or are full of lerps or both. This is attracting good numbers of Red Wattlebirds. There is movement early in the morning into the trees, birds also move from Limestone Ave. into the Argyle Apples at Haig Park and into surrounding gardens. By the time Marnix saw a flock of 15 a general exodus occurs, as I witnessed today (although I am not excluding the option that the flock Marnix saw was migrating). Around lunch time today, many Red Wattlebirds were back in the eucalypts at Limestone Avenue.
