Last weekend the 12/13th October I participated in the Regent
Honeyeater Survey in the Capertee Valley our team Sue Kitchen Les &
Sharon Friedman & myself found the following on a site near Glen
Alice on the Capertee river which had only puddles of water:4 Regent
Honeyeaters, 25+ Plum Headed Finches, 8 Budgies in beautiful plumage,
all drinking from the remaining puddles and 2 Banded Lapwings in a
paddock, as well we had Diamond Firetails, A Little Eagle & 100's of
Masked & White browed Wood Swallows.
The Regent's were feeding on Lerps although at Glen Davis the White
Box was in flower with lots of smaller honeyeaters: white plumed,
Yellow faced and surprisingly lots of New Hollands feeding in them
also seen were Little & Musk Lorikeets.
The Valley looks very dry but as usual the birding was excellent
I luv birding
