Hi Susanne
I am just catching up with my mail after a hectic visit to your part
of the world - I was in Canberra for a whole two days, one of which I
managed to get some birding time. We spent about 1.5 hours in Campell
Park from about 2.00 - 3.30 pm on 17-6-08 and managed to see a fair
amount including one of "your" yellow-tufted honeyeaters - I got a
reasonably good view of the bird, but was not going to advertise it
too widely as I saw it was listed as rare. However, having seen your
posting ........
We also saw flame, scarlet and hooded robin, fuscous and white-eared
honeyeaters, and spotted pardalotes - 34 species in total.
Cheers

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
