In my regular monthly survey of the Pinnacle NR at the end of March, I recorded Scarlet Robins in 8 out of 9 sites, including 5 in one site alone. That's certainly more than I've seen in the past.

Anecdotally yours,
John

While accepting that annecdotal accounts are no more than that, during my regular field work I have noticed that Scarlet Robins are abundant at the moment. Also, Western Gerygone, Olive-backed Oriole, Grey Shrike-Thrush, both Rufous and Golden Whistler, Grey Fantail and Owlet Nightjar numbers are exceptionally high for early April.  The hordes of pardalotes and Silvereyes seem to be on a par with last year......... so far. Yellow-faced Honeyeater numbers also appear to be much higher than this time last year.

Milburn
