Lorne Johnson asked about large flocks of finches in Australia.

The biggest flock that I can remember is ~1,000 Painted Finch at the MaryRiver bridge (between Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing) in theKimberley. It was late August from memory in the mid 1990s. They weregone a week later.

I have seen reasonable flocks of Zebra Finch (100s), Star Finch (100+),Chestnut-breasted Mannikin (~100).
