Hi Carol on the CBOC outing yesterday we had Crested-Shrike -tit and Lewin's 
HE feeding juveniles must be taking advantage of this Indian summer.

New Hollands can nest in any month of the year. Although Pizzey states July 
to January as the main breeding season, they regularly breed throughout the 
autumn months. This year I watched one feeding nestlings on 11th May while 
thousands of Yellow-faced and White-naped Honeyeaters migrated over.

I’ll never forget once finding a New Holland nest with 2 nestlings right 
beside an active lyrebird mound in mid-winter, while the lyrebird was in 
full display. What a show to begin your life with!

Cheers,

Carol
