Grasstree nectar must be sweet

[Laurie Knight <>]

The grass trees on Mt Mitchell [SEQ] were in blossom yesterday and  
were a magnet for nectar seeking birds.  The birds were so intent on  
harvesting the nectar that I could get much closer than normal [I  
photographed a Scarlet Honeyeater at a distance of 3 metres].  The  
flower feeding bonus was a "female" plumaged Regent Bowerbird that  
posed nicely for the camera on the summit.
Is Grasstree nectar particularly attractive, or is it the fact that it  
is easily accessible that makes it such a magnet for birds?
Regards, Laurie.
