Hi All
I finally located the Singing Honeyeater at 7:30 this evening after half an
hour searching. It was making its 'brrrrt' call plus other gurgling noises from
a small shrub in the grassland across the road from the dam. It flew across
Leverrier St to a wattle where it perched on an exposed branch and continued to
call for a few minutes. I then lost it when it flew across to a eucalypt at the
SE corner of the dam.
Thanks to others for reporting the bird.
Cheers
Marnix
