Hello everyone,
Was just wondering whether anyone -particularly those watchers here in SA-
has had the same experience as I in the Mount Lofty Ranges. Despite birds
like peaceful doves turning up reasonably early for the spring season, there
appears to be a real paucity of bee-eaters and white-winged trillers. During
the 90 or so surveys I have conducted throughout the ranges in the past two
months I have not come across a single individual of each. Normally, the odd
bird would have turned up by now. Has anyone esle had the same experience.
During one visit to a farming property near Ashbourne, southern MLRs, I came
across a party of four southern whiteface. Although I have come across them
before here, it has only ever been one the one occasion and that was during
the drier months. It was slightly unusal in that if one was going to come
across them then it might normally be expected to be a little later in the
year, when inland areas begin to dry out.
Regards,
Michael Wood
