Three of us were out on the Wallanbah Sands, between Black Head &
Tuncurry, NSW, on Sunday, and saw a juvenile White-cheeked Honeyeater
feeding on banksia flowers; also lots of Noisy Friarbirds flying over
migrating, and a pair of Drongos - and brief sightings of a small group
of King Quail as well as the usual Brown Quail.
Happy birding
