At least one Black Honeyeater still around early
this morning, a female. I was able to watch it for 15 minutes while it preened
and poked around in a dead mistletoe, occasionally making short
sallying flights after insects. It was only 70 metres east of the dam
described by Marnix, on the eastern edge of the adjacent treeline. I also had
very brief views of what may have been a male flying through.
A lot of bird activity in the same general area,
with Little Lorikeets (heard), Rufous Songlark (heard), White-browed
Woodswallows, Jacky Winters carrying food, Brown-headed and White-plumed
Honeyeaters, Spinebills, many Striated Pardalotes, Speckled Warbler, 2 Hooded
Robins, very vocal Trillers etc etc
Thanks Marnix and Maurits, great find
cheers
Steve
