Nicki's comment is a good individual observation of a
well documented phenomenon. That is, during Autumn and Spring, the number of
species in suburban Canberra always increases. This is because of the change
over period. This is shown on the graph as Figure 10 on the GBS Report. Also
pointed out that as I considered this phenomenon to be of significant
importance to understanding the bird year in Canberra, if not just nice and
useful to know, that it is repeated on the back cover of the
book.

The first Golden Whistler for the season was
calling in our garden in Cook this morning. At the same time a Superb Parrot was
calling, a rather unusual overlap of seasonal species.
