There tends not to be excitement like that in Carwoola.  Flocks of 5 - 10 are more the usual business and they were going over in such groups, heading for the Whiskers Fault and then the Hoskinstown Plain, more or less constantly since about 8am.  They may now be stopping for the day.

just drove back from ANBG to Tuggeranong along the parkway, and about 1km short of Kambah there were huge numbers of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters crossing over the parkway - hundreds in view flying over in a constant stream - I never saw the legendary migrations of years ago along the river, but that is just what it must have looked like
 
and the 2 musk lorikeets I've reported on and off flying over my place in Wanniassa and occasionally sitting in my gum tree are still making an almost daily appearance - almost guaranteed somewhere between 7 and 9 each morning - this morning it was a flyover at 8.30, just after six rainbow lorikeets had flown over twice
