Painted Honeyeaters still there

[John Brown <>]

 

Marnix,

 

I haven't seen them, and wasn't able to find them on Sunday morning. I did see a bee-eater (two, or one bee-eater twice?) but no woodswallows, double-barred finches, trillers (and no calls) or songlarks (and no calls). Perhaps I was in the wrong place .... I walked from Casuarina Sands most of the way to Stoney Creek and back. I'd forgotten to check there location before going, I hope they all turn out for you.

 

John

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.
