Hi Michael and other ML watchers
I have also seen a handful of MLs since I replied to your previous
email. Ten flew low and fast over my garden at sunset the other evening
and I saw several feeding on eucalypts in Wattle Park, Box Hill, east of
Melbourne a couple of days ago. Numbers are way lower than expected
though.
Cheers,
Merrilyn
