Thank you to all those who responded. It seems that I jumped the gun. Having posted my note below, I made myself a cup of coffee and wandered outside to enjoy it in the sunshine, to find the sky filled with honeyeaters. There was a steady
stream of them over the next two hours but by about midday there was not a bird in the air. The biggest flock I saw was over 500 with another two of around 300. The remainder were smaller in the 30-50 range. Most appeared to be Yellow-faced as should be
expected.
Regards
Lindsay

Subject: [canberrabirds] Migrating Honeyeaters
Is anyone seeing a mass migration yet? I certainly am not over the Tralee Flyway (Jerrabomberra, NSW). Over the past week I have seen a single flock on each of four day ranging in size from 5 to 55 (the latter yesterday). Red Wattlebirds
seem to be on the move as do Pied Currawongs.
