Migrating HE, and a local bird list

[martin butterfield <>]

I have been misrepresented!

1. The reporting of Red Junglefowl is more associated with a village other than Carwoola;
2. The local journal of record is the Stony Creek Gazette; and
3. It was founded well before 2009!

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
