Botanic Gardens Honeyeater breeding

["Overs, Anthony \(REPS\)" <>]

In my experience, New Hollands can breed most months of the year, particularly if there's a reliable food source.

 

At Barren Grounds, for example, New Hollands breed in winter when the banksias are flowering profusely. I remember banding recently fledged birds and adult birds with brood patches in May, June and July.

 

Cheers

I just saw a
begging juvenile New Holland Honeyeater being fed by both parents(?) at the
Botanic Gardens. 
As I dont have my
guides handy is this breeding record very early or very late? Or do they breed
here in winter? 

Cheers
