Hi all

Went to Campbell park this arvo for an hour of peace (between work and picking 
up kids) and saw a group of about 10 Honeyeaters, two of which were definitly 
Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters. The others I'm not sure. I had seen White-naped, 
Yellow-faced and a White-eared HE just 10 min earlier.
A few grey fantails (4+) and about 20-25 spotted pardalotes were about.

Having a good look at them today confirmed my short glimpse of a single 
Yellow-tufted HE on Percival Hill Reserve on 7 June. I wasn't sure then, as I 
had never seen them before.


Last week at Campbell Park I watched about 16 double-barred finches (my first), 
10 Red-Browed Firetails, a warbling silvereye, YFHE, White-eared HE, lots of 
RW, and others.

When I came home today, 2 RW sped across the road at eyelevel. One with it's 
beak clamped onto the tail of the other - tandem Wattlebirds.

Cheers, Susanne
