Late summer/early autumn

[Isobel Crawford via Canberrabirds <>]

How interesting: I was surprised to hear a Golden Whistler at ANBG on Friday. I suppose the cold nights of recent weeks have encouraged them to move down.

HI Nicki,

I first heard YFHo flying over my house on 10 March.  I think that is about 9 days earlier than previous years, but I may have missed the first birds in the past.

Regards

Lia

It’s only early autumn and still trying hard to be the summer we didn’t have, but a Golden Whistler turned up in the garden today. Then a couple of flocks of Yellow-faced honeyeaters flitted through. The last time they were here was first week of October on their way to the mountains. The second flock contained a White-naped honeyeater. It seems a bit early but maybe the couple of chilly mornings last week gave them notice.

 

Cheers
