After observers reported small flocks migrating over the past week, we counted over 800 Yellow-faced Honeyeaters on the COG outing to Narrabundah Hill this morning.  Most of these (around 80%) were seen coming through/over the known around 100 m wide flight path on the W fence line a few 100 m from the NW corner during the 30 minutes or so we had morning tea there.  Unlike a couple of other species, interestingly no White-naped HEs were confirmed as travelling with them, despite some other observers noting them also moving through over the past few days.  Jack Holland
