I have seen flocks of up to 200 Rainbow Bee-eaters at the Argyle Diamond Mine village in the east Kimberley of WA in late January of several years when I worked there in the 1990s. They stay for a few nights and then pass on. They were clearly on migration (presumably heading north) but from where? They don't leave the south west until mid to late February.
