FW: Yellow-faced Honeyeaters over Murrumbidgee Golf Course and Friarbirds

[Jean Casburn <>]

While traversing the 7^th fairway at about 1.15pm groups of YFHE passed overhead,  calling and landing in trees along the edges of the fairway. Also there are still quite a few Noisy Friarbirds enjoying flowering gum blossom, throughout the course.

Over the last 30 minutes of my wander at Jerrabomberra Wetlands yesterday (c.10:50am onwards), I had about 1500 YFHE and 140 WNHE fly north over the car park, with the average flock size of about 100. Quite a few flocks had about 10 WNHE mixed in, and a few small WNHE only flocks. Liam was there a little longer after we left and counted an additional 600 YFHE, not sure of time frame.
