User's notes

We have had these flying over in a constant stream since the weekend. There would be thousands of them, they fly over in bunches of 5-20 constantly. I managed to get a photo of one when it landed for a second then took off. There were also smaller birds with them that I think were Silvereye. Sorry about the bad-quality photos but they were at a top of a very tall tree.
