Hi all
Sunday 26 March, 10:35 am, I had a small flock of about 8 YFHE fly over my home in Kambah (Gleneagles), SW to NE – classic chip-chipping calls of a migrating flock; first I’ve noticed for this year.
Then later in the day, between 13:45 and 14:15 h, at Condor Creek where Warks Rd crosses it, there was some regular movement of YFHE through the trees. Seems fairly early, but definitely migration behaviour.
There were none recorded during the Woodland survey at Red Hill on Saturday morning, but we are usually there too early in the morning to pick them up, even if they move through later in the day.
