May is the apogee of the birding year on the Sunshine Coast and by the end of the month, all 60 migrant species that arrive from the south will have appeared, though some are merely passing through to farther north. When these species arrive, they are primed for courtship, with the males singing their best songs while decked out in prime breeding plumage. It is a short window, as the exuberant songs cease and the exotic colours fade by early July.

To even the casual observer, nature seems to really come alive in April, as bird song is omnipresent, and the geese are flying noisily overhead. The goose migration peaked on the 19/20th with observers reporting thousands of birds overhead in multiple flocks. I live on Redrooffs Road in Halfmoon Bay, and on the 19th I heard fifteen separate flocks, and I wasn’t paying attention much of the time. Most of the flocks were flying high, offshore, roughly over Thormanby Island.
