I
wonder whether you have been home more than usual. But then again I wouldn't
read too much into 3 individuals of common species as a sudden influx. According to The GBS Report, all these three
species do occur year round in Canberra gardens, but the usual pattern
for all of them is to be at their lowest numbers in mid summer (like
now). So likely it is an unusual coincidence.
The
weather has been very strange the last month.

This has been an unusual week for honeyeaters arriving
through my garden near the top of Duffy – not too far from the Murrumbidgee and near Narrabundah Hill. I have not
seen HE’s for many months since Banksias finished flowering – apart from a White
Eared HE that stopped coming after the Calistemons stopped flowering.
This morning 7.45am approx a New
Holland landed briefly on Red Hot Pokers – also yesterday I posted that a Yellow
Faced HE had made it’s presence heard and seen and earlier in the week the
Eastern Spinebill reappeared. These will
be in the GBS survey.
However I am wondering why this
sudden influx? Does anyone have any
suggestions?
With thanks if you can
help
