But the word unprecedented applied to that eruption.  It is now slightly precedented.

Interesting, David.

 

I saw a tight flock of 13 fly up the Murrumbidgee valley corridor to the west of us (Gleneagles/Murrumbidgee golf course) before veering left and flying right over our house, back on 9 April.

 

I knew 13 was a lot for the situation (and for my GBS site!) but hadn't realised it applied to the ACT region generally. I've only once previously recorded the species from here (a single bird), on 6 March 2014.
