Jean, there was a similarly sized flock migrating SW on Cooleman Ridge
yesterday morning, the only one of Yellow-faced HE I’ve seen in my area this
spring. A few have also been calling round my Chapman garden for the past
couple of days – in September all I had was a couple moving through on several
occasions.
By contrast Red Wattlebirds have been very conspicuous, with up to 25
squabbling in the flowering ironbarks from very early morning.

Last few days a small flock of about
30 tearing along my front garden in the cold wind, and small numbers into
Manchurian Pear trees and then on again another day. I live near
Narrabundah Hill – in case anyone asks.
Cheers
Jean
