Merrilyn et al,
I recognise most as Yellow-faced from the call and 'assume' others that size
will be White-naped. There are a few larger ones amongst them, (not Little
Wattlebird size, they come in a few weeks,) and small groups of much smaller
birds which again I 'assume' will be Silvereyes. I cannot get a fix with
binoculars, even if the odd one turns back to wait a moment it is off again
in a flash as others come up the valley and they join forces. Maybe I have
Spotted Pardalotes amongst them and not Silvereyes as the latter have been
passing through in flocks for a few weeks in separate flocks.
Any help appreciated!
Barbara

Hi Barbara,
Just wondering what species you are seeing.
Cheers,

On a clear sunny day the honeyeater migration is in full swing on the Far
South Coast of NSW.
Prior to today they have been coming through in groups of 40 sporadically
for the last few weeks but today is continuous. They have been on the move
all morning and I just took a chair and notepad outdoors to get an idea of
numbers.
In the last 15 minutes over my home at Nethercote, 37 00' 18" S 149 50'
28" E there were 600 all heading due north. And so it continues!
