No sign of Musk Lorikeets here in Bayside, SE Melbourne,
although they usually arrive about the first week of
December with hundreds around before long. 

Some of their favourite plants - the West Australian
Flowering Gum (Corymbia - ex Eucalyptus - ficifolia) are in
bloom so absence of nectar cannot(?) be the reason for the
absence of these birds.

Are they in unusual numbers somewhere else ?  Or did the dry
weather affect the orchadists crops north of the Divide so
the birds had a bad breeding season...?
