I had a similar number around 1000 or more fly over my Weston house about the same time as Sandra between 9-10am on Friday.

They were coming from the SW, from the Chapman/Murrumbidgee River direction and headed for Oakey Hill to the NE. Majority were Yellow-faced, with smaller number of White naped.

This morning (Sat), there were a few small flocks of honeyeaters (less than 100 total) passing over, including two Fuscous which stopped briefly in my trees. A dozen Dusky Woodswallows also passed over.
cheers
Jenny
