Started at my Kambah home last Sunday (only YFHE) and continued through most of the week. Though only small flocks, no more than 5 to 10 each time, so far. Combined with Silvereyes and the first return of an Eastern Spinebill.

Thanks David.

With cool nights, it is time for them to start moving.

I will look/listen out for them.

Normal for YFHEs to be first to pass Robertson, then some (not many) WNHEs and then Red Wattlebird flocks (those silent flocks).
