I just did the Kambah Pool / Bullen range track again. Like 2 times in last 2 weeks there were hardly any birds. Just as the sun was setting, many Pied Currawongs were flying over the river (from the direction of Kambah) to perch in the
Bullen range. That happens almost each time I am there. Very easy to see, as they fly high. This time I happened to look down at one point (just on the opposite side of the river just before the dip in the track after the big power line). In about 2 minutes
I would have seen 50 + Satin Bowerbirds flying the same route as the Currawongs, except all low within the canopy. It is odd that I have never noticed that before. I don’t know how long that flight would continue or whether I just encountered one flock. Maybe
it is a daily event but in all the times I have been there I have rarely seen Satin Bowerbirds there. They would have been about 300 to 400 metres from me.
