Hi all Honeyeater note-takers
 
As with Muriel's report yesterday, my Honeyeater traffic through Robertson has dwindled, but not quite stopped yet.
 
It did dry up last week in the face of very cold weather and strong winds.
But a few more birds (YFHE) have passed in the last few balmy days, as well as several groups (15 + ) of Red Wattlebirds.
Still only one solitary White-nape all season.
To me that is the most significant feature of this season's migration.
That and the generally lower numbers of YFHEs and RWs from previous years.
 
Cheers
