This morning (May Day) I took myself across a foggy Hoskinstown Plain towards Rossi for a Greening Australia Survey. Through the murk I noticed several Gang-gangs diing in the hawthorns along Plains Road. Once out of the fog, in beautiful downtown Hoskinstown, there were 6 Dusky Woodswallows sitting on the power lines. No idea if they were vespaphagic or not. The third site on the property I survey is a snow gum remnant. There were a few species in there so I tried squeaking to get them in closer. The immediate reaction was by a White-eared Honeyeater (WEHE) which came quite close making a lot of noise. I stopped squeaking and found that the noise from the WEHE attracted White-browed Scrubwren, Brown-headed Honeyeater, Striated Thornbill, Grey Shrike-thrush and Brown Thornbill within about 1 minute.
