Happy New Year Birders.
Last evening in the bush north of Moruya, I patiently waited for a pair of
Dusky Woodswallows to lead me to a row of their cute young - no luck yet. While
quiet, I observed a female Rufous Whistler coax her tiny speckled beeper
across the track, then a female Golden Whistler with her sturdier, RED (a
rare thrill) juvenile flew nearby. In the dense bracken a pair of
White-cheeked Honeyeaters were very busy and I shall check them again
from a distance. This honeyeater was classified as a rare vagrant in the
Eurobodalla Shire, but over the past, say four years records are increasing
and it is now resident in small, localised colonies. I hope for a breeding
success here also.
What a delight! Joan Fearn
