We really are into the swing of spring. On one warm day in the past week, there must have been an explosion of insects in the air for there was a large flock of Dusky Woodswallow feeding on the wing all day. They came, and now they have gone. The coastal bush is in full blossom … the melaleuca, leucopogon and leptospermum are flowering profusely, and while my eyes won’t stop running, the insects and birds are loving it. Right on cue, we are witnessing a changeover of species: the Little Corella flock has arrived, the Galahs are dispersing and their numbers dwindling, the tiny Silvereye from Tasmania are busy among the bush and blossoms. The calls of the Fan-tailed and Shining Bronze Cuckoos are ringing out in the coastal bush, and down on the beach, the migratory and endangered Ruddy Turnstone from the Siberian tundra have been hanging out with our local nesting shorebirds, the vulnerable Hooded Plover.
Cape Chatter 
Dave,
G’day squire. Hope/trust you and Jeannie are doing well.
Cape Chatter is my favorite monthly read: Informative; interesting…and no politics! Thank you.
You certainly have the variety of bird and other wildlife at the Cape. I guess one shouldn’t be surprised.
On the Sydney birdlife front…not many changes. Of interest:
All the best.
Cheers,
Lowie
P.S. I did not realize that Sulphers and Corellas are left footed. I will observe…should be easy…as we have a local flock of Sulphers, who are not backward in letting people know they are in the area. L.
