Amazing birding experiences - honeyeater migration(racing pigeons)

Dear Kurtis,
Thanks for your suggestion, I hadn't thought of that - although I think they're 
unlikely to be Topknots in the Blue Mountains (although I may stand corrected). 
From your comparison of the flight of these two birds I would think they were 
Ferals. cheers, Arwen
