The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period 
Monday, May 30, 2011 to Sunday, June 5, 2011:

Area: SA

Date: Saturday, May 28, 2011

Location: Mylor

Rose Robin (Petroica rosea) (1) Male seen on Crossing Rd, Mylor during the YTBC 
survey on Saturday.  My first sighting of this species so my confidence in 
identification is not 100%.  Was definitely not a Scarlet or Red-capped Robin 
and had full male colour, not the drab, more subdued tones of females of the 
species.  I would like confirmation of the sighting if it is at all possible.  
Was in the same area again on the Sunday but he didn't show up.

Date: Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Location: Rugby St, College Park

Mistletoebird (Dicaeum hirundinaceum) (1) A brilliant-coloured male was 
foraging in a small clump of mistletoe growing on a leafless deciduous tree on 
the roadside, just north of St Peter's College. There were several clumps of 
mistletoe, so maybe there is a resident group of mistletoebirds.
