Similarly in Cook on Sunday mid-morning there were several groups of 10-20 YfHe migrating around the southern edge of the suburb into Aranda bushland.

 

Also the Silvereyes have been on the move for about a week now, with plenty of pre-dawn movement overhead.

 

Cheers

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.
