I read somewhere once...that there wasnt much or no migration in Oz.
Hi Dean
There's lots of seasonal movements and/or rainfall movements. Waders and other northern hemisphere birds arrive for the 'summer'.
Interestingly the walk up to the granite outcrop provided several 'once only' sightings which might have been chance but could have been evidence of a bit of spring movement. It is at the edge of a huge tract of forest bordered by quite open farmland - the sort of edge migrants/dispersers might be inclined to follow.
Cheers

Cheers for putting me straight on that Dave. Cant remember where i read it tho.
An impressive list there Dave, some great names too - they have a Willie Wagtail! I bet you won't see any of those down the Mere.
