About 100 YFHE between 9.00 and 9.30 this morning over Torrens.
Between 9.45 and 11.30 large flocks - many of 50+, so well over 1,000 altogether - with a substantial admixture of White-naped, moving over McQuoid's Hill, Kambah. Some were flying quite high and hard to see, let alone count.

Plenty moving at Callum Brae, seemed like every second tree erupted with yfhe. We counted 10 groups on the way up the hill, at least 150 birds in total.
Scarlet robins also active, saw 6 along the quarry fence line, heard another 2 that we couldn't spot.
And a fox eyeing off the coots on one of the dams!

On our dog walk there were constant groups of 5-10 YFHE passing over for about an hour. The last flock was 51 birds - very large for this route.
