Hi Edwin and all,
Re the Blue-faced Honeyeaters in western Sydney, Sandra Boxsell has
also been seeing them periodically at Cranebrook near Penrith for the
past few years. I included an item about this with one of Sandra's
photos last year on my website:

Cheers,

It all first started at home in Seven Hills when just before I
headed out shopping, I heard the distinct whistling call of a
BLUE-FACED HONEYEATER, and I was soon observing an adult perching on
an antennae on the roof of the people behind us. Wow great to get a
rarity from your own backyard and a great way to start the weekend
too! Blue-faced Honeyeaters appear to be resident in only one spot
in Sydney that being at Wisemans Ferry area (approx. 80 km NW of
Sydney CBD) on the north-western outskirts of Sydney and
occassionally turn up in other parts of the Hawkesbury (Keith
Brandwood has seen some of the later birds) but in due course may
become well established in other parts of Sydney.
