migrating honeyeaters

At around 2pm we counted over 60 flying over us in Amaroo, heading east in the general direction of Mulligan's Flat​.

Cheers

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
