Hi
I'm new to "hardcore" birding and didn't realise that Red Wattlebirds are 
migrating and worth mentioning here. For weeks now I have them feeding on our 
banksia right outside the window I'm sitting at (northern Ainslie). There are 
about 5 making a rackett in next door's gum tree (red flowering).

There's also a blackfaced cuckoo-shrike hanging around, as well as 7 King 
Parrots feasting on pommegranate seeds. Females, Males, juvenile males...

The banksia ist also a favourite for eastern spinebills, which I have seen 
daily for the last few weeks. There's one feeding right now.


Cheers, Susanne
