Spring migrants.

Out along the Avon, the Sacred Kingfishers are back, but as yet there's still no sign of the Bee-eaters, can't be long though. The Rufous Whistlers have been back and singing for over a week now, and I also caught up with a Horsfield's Bronze Cuckoo, calling from the top of a dead tree. Lots of nice song from Grey Shrike Thrushes and Golden Whistlers, and colour from a surprising number of European Goldfinches. Saw a lot of birds in a dead, mistletoe infested Manna Gum in the distance, and on closer inspection found they were House Sparrows building nests in the mistletoe clumps.
