Y-tufted Honeyeater still at Natl Gallery

A brief visit to the National Gallery
sculpture gardens today at lunch and no sooner had I wandered to the mist
pool and the YTHE almost hit me in the head as it fluttered around catching
insects.
It seemed to prefer the dense shrubs
between the mist pool and the lake, diving into one every so often and
also foraging in the middle layer rather than in the tree canopy. Again
most of the other honeyeater species were present albeit in smaller numbers
than last month - White-naped, White-plumed, Yellow-faced, Fuscous (only
1) and Wattlebirds. There were 3 Black Ducks swimming around the pool.
When a bus load of kids came through it was time to leave.

Cheers
Marnix
