In the last 10 minutes at least 100 YTBCs have flown from near Blue Range Park across Uriarra Village towards the Murrumbidgee. They were in several flocks, some with 20 birds in them but others with only 3 or so. There are normally about 10 YTBCs which fly across the village each morning and return each evening but in three years I've never seen anything like the numbers which just flew directly overhead.

 

There are also Satin Bowerbirds and Scarlet Robins around (in addition to the usual suspects).
