While walking Oakey Hill this morning I flushed
approx 15 - 20 Quail from long grass beside the bitumen road. I had no
idea they were there until they took flight in three separate bursts, each a
couple of seconds apart. I suspect they were Brown Quail as the impression
I got was of brown bodies and wings disappearing swiftly into the
distance. Also seen were 6 Gang-gangs, while Weebills were very
vocal.
In Wanniassa last week 2, perhaps 3, Rainbow
Lorikeets . Grey Butcherbird and Kookaburra also heard at the same
location.
Re the Honeyeater migration, at almost every
location I have visited over the last couple of weeks, from Charnwood to
Queanbeyan, Watson to Weston to Wanniassa, I have either seen or heard
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters passing overhead (mostly in small numbers, no
opportunity for a count). I guess that says something about the geographic
scale of the whole migration.
