Only 25 Spinebills along that stretch this morning. Yesterday, as I said, I was running, but did pause once beside the main clump of planted grevilleas to count there and get an estimate for the whole stretch. Then the bushes were heaving with
them.
This morning I walked down the drainage ditch from Gowrie Drive and they weren't so numerous. Perhaps the colder overnight temperature meant the grevilleas weren't secreting nectar at the same rate (it was about the same time of day).
When I came back I went up on to the Deakin Firetrail, but noted that if you walked along that you'd hardly notice there were Spinebills about, because they are on the other side of shrubs.
