On Saturday 28 March at midday for at least 30 minutes, small groups of Honeyeaters (species not determined as hands were full of sandwiches rather than binos) were moving E or SE through the tall tree tops (some pausing apparently briefly) above the BBQ area at the London Bridge carpark at the south end of Googong - when we returned at c. 14.30 after a short walk, none were obvious.

The autumn migration of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters has started in the Tinderry area of NSW. Small groups of c.10 / per 5 mins were winging their way SE across the Queanbeyan River around the latitude of Lighthouse Creek. This was late morning on 29 March. They were about tree-top height; some backtracked, and took dips in the river, before moving on. Also saw 3 Brown Treecreepers together on one branch - it looked like a family group.
