Painted Honeyeaters still there

[Marty DeHart <>]

I saw them there yesterday (19 Nov) in the early afternoon. They were exactly in the location described, flying into the eucalypts by the second gate and frequently taking off for the casuarinas nearer the river. I saw two birds rather than the three reported -- I'm hoping bird #3 was on a nest, which I did not search for. Also on hand were WW Trillers, R Whistlers, Mistletoebirds, V Sitellas, soaring pelicans, WF Heron, a N Kestrel and the woodswallows. A wonderful, very birdy spot.

Many many thanks to the posters who pointed to these birds. I'm visiting from the States and was thrilled to experience a bird I never expected to see.

Does anyone know if the Painted Honeyeaters are still present at Uriarra?

I may finally have an opportunity to head out there this weekend.

Cheers

I revisited Stoney Creek this afternoon and this time saw the Painted Honeyeaters,  On this occasion there was at least one bird in a large eucalypt just at the top of the bank beside the second gate as well as  one on nest and another in the casuarina.

Also many (50+ of each) White-browed and Dusky Woodswallows, a few Masked Woodswallows 1 Rainbow Beeaeter, a cuple of Trillers, ditto Double-barred Finch, several Rufous Songlarks.  An excellent 30+ minutes.
