It seems that the double line of old Red Gums and Yellow Boxes along the
northern boundary of Narrabundah Hill (which I'm sure represents an old
road line, and which, with the adjacent vigorous regeneration, always
seems to be busy with birds) is also a locally significant movement
corridor. Hundreds of Yellow-f HEs were passing eastwards along it this
morning - and late in the piece, they were accompanied by a couple of
White-napeds, the first I've seen moving this year. (I'm wondering how
many honeyeaters will be left for the Anzac Day Spectacular?!)
When they got to the end of it some continued straight on, along the
northern edge of Duffy; others veered south-east towards Cooleman Ridge.
(This could also take them over Jean Caswell's house, as she reported
last week.)
best to all
Ian
