Good morning all,
I am just back from a trip to a property just out of
Sutton with Golo Maurer where we were shown a pair of Regent Honeyeaters with 2
well fledged young. There is a lot of flowering Yellow Box in the area so as
well as the Regents there were a lot of Noisy Friarbirds, about 30 – 40 Little
Lorikeets and a single adult male Black Honeyeater. I plan to go out next week
to attempt to catch and colour band them as part of the Regent Honeyeater
Recovery plan.
Also, as we were leaving Kaleen where I have lived
for 30 years, we saw a pair of Superb Parrots fly over the suburb – the first
ever but I know they have been recorded just over the hill in Giralang.
Rarities reports will be forwarded to the Rarities
Panel for the relevant species in due course.
Mark
