FW: Migrating honeyeaters

["Philip Veerman" <>]

I was away over easter but so missed activity here then but the migration was well in evidence over my home yesterday. About 150 birds passed over whilst I was hanging out washing (about 10 minutes). YfH, WnH & with Silvereyes.

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).
