It’s been a great honeyeater day today at Jerrabomberra (NSW).  I estimate that we have seen 3000 per hour (based on flock size and frequency) from 10am until mid afternoon.  Most have been Yellow-rumped, as you would expect, with a few White-naped.  Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were relatively quiet with scattered flocks passing through throughout the days.  I suspect the predominantly easternly wind over those days was the reason for the lower numbers.
