The hours of daylight are declining, mornings are chilly. Our summer birds are thinning out. My own migration north is almost due although the diesel supply may complicate that, we’ll see.
But Victoria does have its winter visitors too. This morning I was on Killarney Beach (not the original – we do have quite an Irish influence around here) chasing Double-banded Plovers. They breed in New Zealand and some think that Australia, even chilly Victoria, is a better place to spend the winter.
