I've been walking this afternoon on the Hughes side of Red Hill and
noticed a complete absence of little birds, and a corresponding large
number of Pied Currawongs. There were literally dozens, flapping
around, harassing other birds (including a pair of Yellow-tailed
Black-Cockatoos) and calling loudly. Are these non-breeding birds
going around in parties, or is it part of a migration back to the
ranges?

On a quieter part of the Hill I also saw a White-winged Triller and a
Sacred Kingfisher.
