winterbirds? and winter breeding

["Barbara Allan" <>]

The usual BFCS at The Pinnacle NR, Hawker, this morning. One seen; another suspected. Also two Dusky Woodswallows, almost certainly not overwintering birds but early returnees (unless they came from somewhere else in the ACT) as the species has been absent for two months at The Pinnacle. And one family party of early breeding Yellow-rumped Thornbills are feeding young; two more nests being attended to. b
