Perhaps subscribers are worried about being
labelled "me too-ers" but I'm surprised there have been few, if any, posts of
honeyeater migration this Easter weekend, save for those made on 1
April.
I can report over 300 moving over the top of Mt
Taylor (actually about 50 m S of mobile phone tower and ~120 m S of the trig) at
10 am this morning. This was in a very narrow continuous stream over a
period of about 5 minutes. Fifteen minutes later about 30 skirted the NE
edge of the peak.
Also seen/heard were about 6 Dusky
Woodswallows slowly circling overhead at about 100 m.
While I was not at home for the whole
period, no honeyeaters at all were seen flying through my local area,
though a few were reported to me moving on the SW side of Cooleman Ridge on 1
April. A feature of recent years, probably since before the 2003 fires,
has been almost complete abandonment of the formerly very active migration route
through my GBS site.
