There were around 10 of the above species moving through the S fence line of Narrabundah Hill on my survey there this morning.  While such migration is well recognised, my impression is that it has been less noticeable this year.
 
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters (No White-napeds heard) were still observed migrating with a couple of flocks of around 20 coming through from the W side at a spot slightly different from where I have seen them previously, including on COG walks.  However, elsewhere up to half a dozen, singly or in pairs, seemed very much to be staying put, feeding in some gum flowers or in amongst a mixed feeding flock.
