dead White-naped Honeyeater in Woden

[martin butterfield <>]

I am not totally familiar with which Woden suburbs are classified as bottom or slope but the attached query from the GBS database shows that most of the White-naped Honeyeaters reported in the Survey come in the Autumn or (to a lesser extent) Spring migration periods.   While adjusting for the number of observer weeks might make marginal changes I don't  think it would make any significant difference to the overall pattern (and does involve a bit of fiddling about).

Found a dead WNHe on the pavement outside one of the Health buildings in northern Woden yesterday. I'm thinking it may have been migrating by night and hit a lit window in the building.

The reason I think this is that I've never seen a WNHe anywhere in the Woden valley bottom (we get them occasionally in Hughes and on Red Hill). I suspect they may only cross the valley to migrate.
