I think they might have migrated to Adelaide. Plenty of each in my back
garden.

  Red Wattlebirds are normally common around Ivanhoe and I suppose in
most Melbourne suburbs.
  This morning I heard a few calls from a Little Wattlebird in our
garden, which reminded me that I hadn't seen or heard any, either Red or
Little, here for at least three weeks. (Locally the Little WB tends to
be a winter-spring bird).

  Last week I did not see or hear any RWBs at Banyule Flats.  However at
Wilson Reserve there were about two Red Wattlebirds near the Yarra.

  I suppose we have to blame the drought. But where have they gone?
