On Tuesday 2 August, we spotted a bird on Mt Majura that I am unfamiliar with.
When I trawled through the field guide, the closest match I could find was the
Regent Honeyeater. I know these are uncommon so am writing to ask if this would
be possible at this time of year.
It was perched high in the tall dead tree on the the right of Blue Metal Road
as you climb up the main track from the top of Grayson Street, Hackett. Its
distinguishing features were black head with a hint of red and broad pale bar
on wing/flank. Smaller than wattle bird. It was perched v. high.
If not a Regent Honeyeater, what would other candidates be?
