This is out of the COG AOI, but a fair few COG members seem to visit the area.
The combination of discussion about the Yellow-faced Honeyeater (YFHE) migration and Kathy Cook's comment about Friarbirds overflying Wamboin stirred memories of the migration I have reported
to eBird for Karbeethong.
I recorded 3,000 YFHE moving along the Inlet on 10 April 2017 (and have a memory of Rod McKay reporting something similar to the chatline a week or so later). My peak for Red Wattlebirds
was 297 on 18/5/2018: my comments included "100+ in one flock, 50+ in another", For reasons that escape me Friarbirds are much less common down here so I have no records of them
en masse.
