Yes, Ginninderra Creek/Percival Hill at Nicholls. My theory is that this was a very early breeding season around here so the next generation are grown up and flocking earlier than usual. Only
my amateur theory of course!

Subject: [canberrabirds] Mixed feeding flocks already...?
Has anyone else seen, over the last couple of weeks, small birds in mixed-species flocks moving together through the bush? Is this a sign of breeding territories having broken down and mixed feeding flocks forming? An active flock at Bluett’s
Block this morning contained at least 10 species, structured around Buff-Rumped Thornbills and Superb Fairywrens. A little earlier in the season than I had expected…
