Thanks
for the photo. Can't see if the bird is banded. I'm with Harvey's advice to
you on this. As for: I was puzzled as to why
the bird didn't appear on the Booderee National Park Bird List. It is not that uncommon for
park lists to not be fully complete, especially for rare species. Maybe yours
might even be a first record for the site....... Though they are known to visit
the NSW SE coastal areas. But when and where is now becoming ever more important
information.
As for
all the Yellow-faced
Honeyeaters there .... migrating from our area??
We know a lot about their migration passing through specific points but we know
amazingly little about which birds travel via which routes.

Hi
Julie
This
is a fantastic sighting! And yes, you should notify people including the
Booderee Park people and also BirdLife Australia. The Regent Honeyeater is very
scarce these days so any sighting is extremely important.
The
following link gives some info on who you could contact http://birdlife.org.au/documents/WB-If-you-see-a-Regent-Honeyeater.pdf
Well
done,
Harvey

Regent Honeyeater
I just had 3 days staying
at Jervis Bay and was interested to see all the Yellow-faced Honeyeaters there
.... migrating from our area??
I spent Tuesday in
Booderee National Park and was delighted to see my first Regent Honeyeater! (low
quality photo attached)
I was puzzled as to why
the bird didn't appear on the Booderee National Park Bird List.
Should I be mentioning
the sighting to them?
