Thanks for Benj for
bringing to my attention my misreading of Steve’s posting. White-plumed
was the far
the most abundant and vocal species but White-naped were
present.

Yellow-tufted HE at National Gallery
I combined a
lunchtime run around the lake with birdwatching at the National Gallery. I had
great and prolonged views of the Yellow-tufted Honeyeater feeding on lerps
above the path that leads from the back of the gallery down to the lake.
Interesting to read Steve’s comments, as while all other honeyeaters were
there, the White-naped was the far the most abundant and vocal
species.
Thanks to
Marnix to alerting us to this beautiful
bird.
Cheers
Alastair

All
honeyeaters except White-naped still present lunch time today, also 2 Little
Corellas flying over. The Yellow-tufted put in a brief appearance, it seems to
have cheered up a bit since Benj saw it
yesterday
cheers

The yellow-tufted
honeyeater was still there at 3:30, it was almost the first bird I saw,
because it was feeling quite low, only 3-4m. It wasnt calling. Others as per
Marnixs email.

at National Gallery
There are currently
at least 7 species of honeyeater at the Australian National Gallery gardens.
Including among them today a single Yellow-tufted Honeyeater. It called
occasionally with its single coarse 'tcheek'.
The bird seemed to
be hanging around with all the other honeyeaters in the brittle gums
surrounding the small patch of open grass between the gallery building and the
lake. It was feeding on aerial insects and gleaning them from leaves while I
watched between 1.30 and 2pm. At least one gum was starting to flower, but it
was jealously guarded by Red
Wattlebirds.
Also
present Eastern
Spinebill, Fuscous
Honeyeater (at least 3), White-naped Honeyeater, Yellow-faced Honeyeater and the resident
White-plumed Honeyeaters
including, as Benj's email mentioned, at least 2 begging
juveniles.
Cheers
