I spent 2 hours Wanniassa Hills this morning.
There were a few migrating flocks of up to 15 Red Wattlebirds.
Most of the action was around a single large mixed feeding flock which consisted of 14 species, including the usual mix of Yellow-rumped, Buff-rumped, and Brown Thornbills as well as Weebills, Spotted Pardalotes,
2 male Scarlet Robins sharing the same branch, female/immature Rufous and Golden Whistlers and my first White-eared HE for the season. The highlight if this flock was a juvenile Goshawk/Sparrowhawk that appeared in the midst of it (my first for the site),
and the surprisingly late presence of a female/immature Leaden or Satin Flycatcher, which I get very few of even in the warmer months. If you can shed light on the CS/BG and Leaden/Satin, photos are on the
ebird checklist.
Also seen was my first Grey Shrike-thrush for the season.
