Thanks to various COG members who have reported the start-up of the YFHE migration past Canberra. As many of you will know, Robertson is approximately 200 Km north-east from Canberra, above the Illawarra escarpment.
I saw my first groups passing by the southern edge of Robertson (overlooking Kangaroo Valley) on Thursday afternoon, at 5:00 PM. Mostly small groups 10s and 20s. Heading north-east. Calling their "chip, chip, chip" flight calls. In the course of 30 minutes I saw several hundred birds passing. It is always good to be tipped off by COG members on the movements of these birds. Denis Wilson Are you amongst Greg Hunt's "increasingly hysterical environmental activists"? |
