Regent Honeyeater in Melbourne suburbs

[michael norris <>]

Any recent sightings to help fill out the story of this bird ? Perhaps
it left after/during the storms on 12/1 ?

Subsequent to Pat Bingham's first record on 1/1/98 there were postings
on Birding-Aus relating to the afternoons of 6,10 (at 2 different times)
and 12/1 and two reports of failures to find the bird (both in
mornings). 

As Richard Nowotny said in a mail to me, it (a male, I think) showed a
remarkable fidelity to a small area.  But was that just an afternoon
fidelity (feeding on nectar am and invertebrates pm?).
