Light movement

Thousands of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters (Lichenostomus chrysops) are moving in streams overhead, north north-east in annual autumnal migration. They began early this year in March as the first cool days descended, and much cooler days descended into the alpine areas. In flight, the flocks continuously call; it is this that makes me look up to their extraordinary, daily movement.
