On Sunday morning (Oct
2nd) maybe 60 or 70 YFHEs were flying in a loose flock between
flowering eucalypts up at the Pinnacle in Hawker. I've had a
couple of small flocks (7-8) through my garden in Hawker in
the last couple of weeks (much to the annoyance of the one YFHE that
overwintered), but that's the biggest single flock I've seen so far
this Spring.

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.

Honeyeaters over my GBS
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
