Hi Folks,
Over the last few weeks there has been a noticeable local movement of
some species moving down to lower altitudes. Birds that have turned up
in the Lodge grounds that have come from the mountains behind (Mt.
Lewis) have been Satin Bowerbird, Golden Whistler and Bower's
Shrike-thrush. Previous to that Lewin's Honeyeater, Bridled Honeyeater
and Grey-headed Robin have turned up. Satin Bowerbird, Golden Whistler
and Bower's Shrike-thrush don't always come down every year unlike the
Lewin's HE and Grey-headed Robin. Other altitudinal migrants to have
made it down in previous years include White-throated Treecreeper,
Fernwren, Yellow-throated Scrubwren,Victoria's Riflebird and Bassian
Thrush. Other migrant passing through include Australian Reed-Warbler
who use the cane fields to move through and Satin Flycatcher which Del
Richards from Fine Feather Tours reported in Julatten this week. It will
be interesting to see if any of the missing migrants turn up over the
next few weeks. More information is on our blog
