AS I sat on my balcony yesterday afternoon I watched a 'flock' of
Currawongs, probably 45 strong flying through. They were all headed the same
direction, and used all the same trees on their way through, but were only
very loosely flocking. Either they were migrating (South West) from the
plains into the hills (which seems unlikely) or something was going on that
they all knew about. I did notice a couple of Crimson Rosellas in the
distance complaining bitterly about something, and I wondered if their
distress call migh have called some carrion eaters in. We've had regular
reports of Square Tailed Kite lately as well.
