To tie off the little D Woodswallow exercise, there were a
dozen in the Newline paddock this morning, so with that and Barbara’s
report, I think we can say they are ‘back’ and, speaking for myself,
no further reports are solicited.
The result is that this year there were no reports at all in
July, the last one being in Giralang at end of June. This confirms the
published conclusion that July is a ‘low’ month, when they are
absent or only occur very infrequently. For myself I would certainly
regard any July-mid August sightings in future years as worth recording.
