The advantages of village life, Julia.  Each plays their role.

Honeyeater migration

I have been away for 3 weeks. Before I left there had been a increase in the numbers of honeyeaters around our house - a few Yellow-faced and White-napes honeyeaters and Red Wattlebirds. Yesterday I saw several groups of approx 20 YFHE moving with purpose coming from the north east. A Noisy Friarbird was calling and seen along the road.

Local bird list.

Martin Butterfield writes a bird column for a local monthly newsletter in our area. The column is enjoyed by many local residents. Several birdwatchers send him their observations. As I have been home only a few days this month I was surprised I had managed to see 69 species. The mostnotable are -

Nesting Fairy Martins

Nesting White-browed Scrubwren

Australasian Shelduck

Rufous Songlark

European Goldfinch

Brown Falcon

Southern Whiteface

White-necked Heron

Migrating honeyeaters

 

Cheers Julienne
