Narrabundah Hill - Yellow-faced Honeyeaters on the move 9.30am

While grape picking at Wamboin, on Norton Road, on Saturday morning,

I saw small groups moving through from about 10am continuing through to about 3pm - heading east.

At 9.30am large flock of approximately 150 YFHE, followed by 4 smaller groups of about 40 birds each, passed over the northern fence line of Narrabundah Hill from a north west direction (over the vicinity of Cotter Road bush fire brigade). Separately from this approx. 8 Red Wattlebirds appeared to be moving independently from the Hill towards Molongolo river.

 

From 8.30am to 9.55am there were many small birds, including 6 Scarlet Robin,  Brown and Buff-rumped Thornbill, 1 Spotted Pardalote, 4 Striated Pardalote, 3 Southern Whiteface, 2 DB Finch, Silvereye, White-throated Gerygone, plenty of Grey Fantails and Superb Wrens, and Weebill.  Only one Yellow-rumped Thornbill.

 

Grey Shrike-thrush after an apparent absence, 4 King Parrots, 4 Black-faced Cuckoo-shike and other more common birds up to 28 species.

Will do obs report
