In the Uriarra woodland late yesterday afternoon there was a large flock of Honeyeaters - not on the move but settling in the trees. 8 Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos flew through the woodland on route to somewhere near Blue Range Park. My garden is visited
most days by 6 or so juvenile Satin Bowerbirds and a juvenile male Scarlet Robin (plus a pair of adults). I've found a Fairy Wren nest high up in a climbing rose - the second nest I've found in a rose bush. There are a few white winged Choughs near the western
entrance to the village and the Cattle Egrets are still around the dam on Uriarra Station.

I think a slight excess of
White-naped Honeyeaters over Yellow-faced Honeyeaters at my home today. Plus flocks of Red Wattlebirds & some Noisy Friarbirds plus flocks of Silvereyes and one returning
Satin Bowerbird.

Also still moving over my GBS in Duffy – mostly stragglers but irritatingly noisy when trying to work in the garden and having to look up frequently. Quite
a few White-naped Honeyeaters as well as Yellow-faced. Other small birds are appearing with these flocks, but haven’t seen any Noisy Friarbirds.

I still had a few fairly large mixed flocks of WNHE and YFHE over Wanniassa Hills this morning.
Wattlebird movement was still quite noticeable with flocks of up to 15 moving through.
I noted 3 Noisy Friarbirds among the wattlebirds in one of these flocks and (further?) individuals were heard on numerous occasions throughout the morning.
