I surveyed Kambah Pool - on the Murrumbidgee River - this morning for 90-minutes from 0930 and 1100.  I counted a total of 350 honeyeaters flying over in an East-southeasterly direction.  The breakdown is 330 Yellow-faced Honeyeater and 20 White-naped Honeyeater, which as a percentage is about 94% Yellow-faced and 6% White-naped.  Largest flock size was 50 birds.

Kind regards
