HI All,
I too have been wondering how the migrants seem to
get down south without being noticed here (on the Sunshine Coast
hinterland). Here at Palmwoods I only recorded my first Koel on the 21st
Sept, first Channel-billed Cuckoo on 27th Sept. and a Black-faced Monarch on Sat
2nd Oct.
It would be interesting to collate the first
sightings for each species and map them out to see if there is any pattern to it
all.
Some rain would certainly make it even more
interesting. Its apparently the driest September on record since 1946 in
this area.
Cheers
Jan
