There is a general migration but not a lot. The GBS Report shows winter numbers are about half that of summer & autumn numbers. So not a big change. There is always some in our area during the winter.

I now have 3 at Giralang Pond. Are we expecting an early spring ? or a dry spring ?

Dear Sue,

We on the Nerriga Rd at Braidwood and have been very happy to be part of the COGs audit of birds on our properties here – thank you again for doing that for our Landcare group.

Sorry to bother you but hoping you might have an answer to this question please.

We have noticed that the swallow population on our property has not migrated this year but has stayed and are very visible circling the paddocks.

Is there an explanation and is it happening elsewhere?

Many thanks and again apologies,

Virginia & Barry Hooker
