Fri 14 May Regent Honeyeater Putty Road, Milbrodale (update), New
South Wales
19 Regents this morning, including 15 in a single flock. Not sure
whether numbers are building or if I've been missing some on previous
visits. Having 2 other people present today helped. Birds still on lerp
and not showing interest in Ironbark blossom.
