Spendid
work, Martin. This kind of school-reporting is to be encouraged.
It is clear that the under-performing suburbs that need to lift their game,
New-Holland-Honeyeater-wise, are:
AMAROO
BANKS BARTON BONNER BONYTHON BRADDON CALWELL CASEY CHARNWOOD CHIFLEY CHISHOLM
CONDER DEAKIN DICKSON DOWNER DUNLOP FISHER FLOREY FLYNN FORDE* FORREST
FRANKLIN* FRASER GARRAN GORDON GOWRIE GRIFFITH GUNGAHLIN HACKETT HALL HARMAN
HARRISON HUME ISABELLA PLAINS
JACKA*
KALEEN KENNY* KINGSTON KINLYSIDE* LAWSON* LYNEHAM MACARTHUR MACGREGOR MCKELLAR
MACQUARIE MAWSON MONASH MONCRIEFF* NGUNNAWAL NICHOLLS OAKS ESTATE O’MALLEY
OXLEY PALMERSTON PARKES PHILLIP PIALLIGO RED HILL RICHARDSON RIVETT RUSSELL
SPENCE STIRLING SYMONSTON TAYLOR* THEODORE THROSBY* TORRENS TURNER WANNIASSA
WARAMANGA WATSON YARRALUMLA
Those
I have marked with a * might have some excuse, being for the most part mere
expanses inhabited by yellow-shirted surveyors, culvert-constructors and
lake-emptiers, but some on the list should be at the tertiary stage of their G
rosmarinifolia phase (eg Gowrie and Monash). Others have passed well
beyond that and will be at the stage of removing the remains of the Blue
Spruce of circa 1961, in-filling their second swimming pool and laying
mock-Tuscan stonework over the last square-metre of earth where the compost
bin once rested.
(I
am surprised to note that ‘CRACE’, which I had thought to be pretty much
sheep-paddock, graders and developers’ hoardings is on your list.
Someone must have been very fast out of the starting gates with the G
ros.)
As
a passing comment I might mention that no suburb beginning with ‘Mac’ or ‘Mc’
has reported a NHH, although 50% of those starting with ‘O’ ‘ have done
so.
Finally,
I might note that ‘Gleneagles’, relatively swarming with NHHs with the
seventh-most records, is, whatever else it might be, not listed in my street
guide to the greater Canberra area (which includes Carwoola and Dodsworth) as
either a suburb or locality.

In view of the interest in this topic I have attached a
spreadsheet showing which suburbs New Holland HE have been reported
in for the full 25 years of the GBS. In total they have appeared on
176 sheets.

I
would have thought that with a reasonably high density of New Hollands at the
nearby ANBG, folks might see the odd one here or there in Turner, O'Connor or
even Aranda.

[canberrabirds] New Holland Honeyeater: O'Connor
A single New Holland Honeyeater passed
through our garden in O'Connor last evening. It the first that I have
recorded and definitely not one of the local species. Interestingly they
have been in the tall forest along Wark's Road for some weeks.
