Hi Birders,
The distribution of Striped Honeyaters in NSW is similar to that of Little
Friarbirds & White-breasted Woodswallows, in that they occur throughout
inland Central NSW and extend to the Coast, and along the coast as far south
as Gosford & Wyong LGAs - ie the NSW Central Coast. The distribuition then
extends up the Hunter Valley and skirts the western extremity of the
Hawkesbury Sandstone area and then south into the Southern NSW Tablelands
and into Victoria.
The Hawkesbury Sandstone Region seems to present a substanial ecologiocal
barrier to these species. There a just a few records for both Striped
Honeyeaters and Little Friarbirds in the Sydney and Illawarra Regions. In
recent years however, White-breasted Woodswallows have spread south along
the coast and can now be found at a num,ber of coastal wetland and estuarine
areas similar to what they occupy further north.
