Hi Matthew,
Only just read your email. It's been a poor spring for Regents here
and I know of none in the Capertee Valley at the the moment.
This year the White Box flowered well from June to September and the
birds were in the valley throughout that time, but after an early
start to breeding, things dried up and they disappeared. I haven't
seen any since the beginning of October, despite frequent trips to
the valley.
However, a reminder to everyone that if you do see any Regents
anywhere, please report the sighting to Dean Ingwersen at Birds
Australia which will help in
understanding and saving these enigmatic creatures. There is still
not a lot known about their movements.
Cheers,
Carol

Dear birders Just a quick request please before I set off from UK on
Friday; has anyone seen any Regent Honeyeaters around the usual
areas at Capertee Valley in the last week or so? I know it's a bit
late now but one of these years I might manage to catch up with
them? I am visiting Lord Howe Is. next week in case anyone is
interested in information. Any useful tips for Regents very welcome
please. Thank you Matthew Rodgers, UK
