At 11am this morning we headed down the Monaro H'way and turned into Lanyon
Drive, where we stopped shortly after the corner. We immediately saw large
flocks of hes flying over, coming from the west. Then we turned into right into
Sheppard St (Fyshwick). Honeyeaters were flying across that road. On out to
Jerrabomberra, Bayside Drive, close to Lindsay's place. Well there, we saw
hundreds flying over. They were in broad flocks and difficult to count.
Lindsay had counted 720 in 20 minutes on Wednesday. I must ask him to count
again. There would have been thousands over a 2--3 hour period
We are interested in seeing where they fly from Jerrabomberra, so went out on
the Cooma Road and stopped near the quarry. We saw one flock fly over, but we
were not there for long.
Others have reported the hes flying near their homes. Could you put the exact
address please? We like to plot the movement. I wonder whether they are
flying across Angle Crossing this year, and then south of Williamsdale
