A couple of days ago I was interested to observe a Sacred Kingfisher hawking above a 7m mallee tree. It was flying upwards, in a similar way to that used by White-plumed Honey-eaters. As I write, we're enjoying the second cool day after 10 days with temps in the low to mid 40s. Today we're surrounded by dozens (100s?) of Tree Martins and Welcome Swallows, congregating in the trees and flying around in an apparently aimless fashion, reminiscent of the autumn pre-migration behaviour. And a Rainbow Bee-eater has just arrived! I'm sure these signs of "autumn" are VERY premature! Regards, Anne -- Anne & Roger A.
