Subject: [canberrabirds] Black Honeyeaters in Holt
A friend of mine (Alison Milton) who lives in Holt sent me the following message yesterday afternoon:
Hi John,
I thought you might be interested that I just spotted a pair of black honeyeaters in my almond tree. According to COG they are rare vagrants in Canberra.
Photos attached. (I edited the original images to reduce their size.)
