My post was really more about site fidelity and regularity (rather than first Dollarbird of the season). Does anyone else have any circumstantial evidence of a pair returning each year and the degree of precision of the timing of returns?

I saw 2 Dollarbirds up near the western side of McQuoids Hill, Kambah, on 8 October, and saw Rainbow Bee-eaters between Kambah Pool and Casuarina Sands on Sunday. Records added to CNM.

Just saw the first of "my" dollarbirds, back for the season. In the trees bordering the 6th fairway at Murrumbidgee golf course (Gleneagles, Kambah). 

Right on time. Previous years (over past 12 years) have been as early as 12 October and as late as 2 November (but of course that is when I first recorded them, not necessarily when they actually arrived back).
