birding-aus Re: Black & Pied Honeyeaters

The latter part (ie Spring-Summer) of 1999  certainly seemed to
be a bumper period for Black & Pied Honeyeaters with numerous records
posted on birding-aus.

On  28/12/99 we located 6 Pied Honeyeaters in Mallee at Boundary Road, Murry Bridge Range (about 25 km from Murray Bridge, SA).  This appears to be one the closest records to Adelaide.  Boundary Road was alive with "inland" birds - Budgerigars, White-winged Trillers and White-browed and Masked Woodswallows etc.

Happy New Year .... and welcome back to Birding-Aus.

Sounds like Goschen Bushland Reserve is still a happening place (between Lake
Boga and Sea Lake in NW Victoria).

On 30/12/1999 I dropped in at Angel's Rest Flora & Fauna Reserve just south of
Sea Lake when I was on my way to the Sunset Country.  Angel's Rest is a small
linear mallee reserve just off the Calder Highway, with great vegetation
including some Berrigan (Eremophila longifolia) still in flower.  I saw at least
2 (probably 4) Pied Honeyeaters there - all immatures.  I presume they nested
there, but as the birds are quite mobile they could be from elsewhere???
