Good morning all,
I have been standing on my back deck at around 0730 over the last few mornings and are seeing birds that are definitely on the move. On Saturday morning I was watching what I thought were my resident Red Wattlebirds when at least 30 flew
from the front of my house into a large red gum in a neighbour’s yard. Going back inside the wattlebirds kept up a steady stream as seen through my computer room window. Much the same happened this morning. An Eastern Spinebill has been around for the last
two weeks and this morning I saw my first (adult female) Golden Whistler. A Grey Butcherbird has been in the general neighbourhood for about a month and recorded on my GBS site in the last two weeks. There was a sudden influx of Pied Currawongs at the end
of February but they seem to have disappeared. They were giving their “autumn” call as I think someone reported a week or so ago.
It will be interesting to see what happens when the cooler weather arrives tomorrow.
My last record of a Pacific Koel for the season was on Thursday March 3 – an “odd obs” sheet will be filled in.
Mark
