See comments below - a sighting with big numbers when they have been scarce in recent years.
User's notes
At least a couple of hundred moths wanting to come into the house at dawn this morning to roost.

This is encouraging news given the apparent lack of such observations locally in recent years.

Yes good to see Wandiyali being a bogong sanctuary as well as a retreat for Queanbeyan bogans (hee hee).

Interesting Carolyne. These winds probably suit the Bogongs perfectly. I wonder where else the same is happening.

What was the insect swarming at Manuka Oval for the cricket game last night? (See sports news on tv). Maybe it was Bogongs? There was a Bogong in my bathroom last night but I didn't manage a photo (I live reasonably close to Manuka Oval).
