G'day all
I heard an Olive-backed Oriole calling from a roadside plantation a couple
of km south of Hamilton this morning. This is my first record near
Hamilton since I moved here in 1982. It is 30 km south west of the
closest Atlas record in the southern Grampians near Dunkeld. Orioles are
only occasional visitors in the Grampians - I have a couple of records
near Dunkeld - but occur regularly in the coastal forests near Portland to
the south. What is their migration path I wonder.
My first garden Shining Bronze-Cuckoo turned up on Saturday 5th Sep. This
is almost exactly the middle date of the 16 or so first return records I
have for home.
Cheers
Steve
