From the reports on this chat line etc, they certainly seem to be here in
good numbers this spring, but even then they hadn't ventured into my GBS
yet (where I only seem to get occasional records since the fires). However,
there has been a real influx in the past few days with at least 6 since
Friday feeding in a tight group on Chauvel Circle, and at least a similar
number combined at a couple of spots in the local area.
Also my first Sacred Kingfisher this spring on Cooleman Ridge yesterday
morning. Only one previous posting of this species on the chat line so far,
but I'm sure there would have been a few around.

I know they are a dime a dozen - but not in my GBS site. For the first
time ever I have recorded two birds. They are hanging around so they may
have a go at breeding. That, or feeding the plethora of untrammelled
moggies that infest our suburb.
