First Scarlet Robin of the season

[martin butterfield <>]

At the risk of being accused of 'me-tooism" the same phenomenon has occurred at our place.  Over the last week Scarlet Robins have gradually moved down our block, arriving at the house yesterday.  Dusky Woodswallows and Welcome Swallows are also beginning to congregate into flocks but the honeyeaters still seem to be in non-migratory mode.

they're certainly arriving back in town - I got a female scarlet at Callum
Brae last Sunday morning, between the old zoo and the first old explosives
store, rather than up on the slope at the back where the robins usually
hang out.
