Like Carol Probets I have often heard birds, particularly waterbirds,
flying over suburban Richmond in inner city Melbourne.

Silver Gulls and Masked Lapwing are the most commonly heard with Black Swan
and duck species sometimes heard.  The conditions are generally but not
always moonlit nights with little or no cloud.  The smaller waterbirds are
thought to do much of their movements at night when conditions are
suitable.
