I ran around Narrabundah Hill around noon today and up near the top there were literally 100’s of YFH flying over!!

Thanks Sandra, what time was this?  I did a rekkie on Narrabundah Hill from 9:00 to 10:15 and didn’t see or hear a single honeyeater migrating.

 

I expect these may be on the route that goes over the top of Mt Taylor, a few years ago I found a group of 300+ doing that near the summit.  Readers may like to check it out.

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
