Thanks Paul. It's good that stories like this make it into the mainstream
news media, especially when it was put together quite well.

However, I was a little disappointed that there was no reference in the
story to the research that has been conducted by Ursula Munro et al.
(University of Technology, Sydney) on the migratory compass of the
Yellow-faced Honeyeater. Links to a couple of their papers are shown below:

Munro, U. & Wiltshko, W. (1993). Magnetic compass orientation in the
Yellow-faced Honeyeater (Lichenostomus chrysops), a migrating bird from
Australia. Behavioural Ecology & Sociobiology. 32: 141-145.
http://www.jstor.org/pss/4600796.

Munro, U., Wiltshko, W. & Ford, H.A. (1993). Changes in the migratory
direction of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters Lichenostomus chrysops (Meliphagidae)
during autumn migration. Emu. 93: 59-62.

G'day

Interesting feature on Yellow-faced Honeyeaters was just featured on 
Radio national Breakfast including comments from Henry Nix and Coral 
Probets.  Hopefully, it should be available for download soon from 
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/.
