Once again a couple of species seen the previous week are not on the above
list.
This now is the record for the most species seen in/over/from my
backyard since March 1994.
Can it get any better?
I note that Andrew Stafford had Scarlet Honeyeater in his yard at Wavell
Heights, Brisbane, (not that far from me as the SH flies) the other day; that's
a rarity for me but here's hoping they are heading my way.
Andrew also recorded Olive-backed Oriole; they rarely come to my backyard
but have been here for about a week now.
Check out those backyard birds.
