Bell Miner & Spotted Dove

["Steve Read" <>]

I heard the Lewin’s Honeyeater this morning at the ANBG, in the rainforest gully, but couldn’t score a sighting.  However, good views of a Bassian Thrush nearby, and also a male Rose Robin above the head of the gully.

The Bell Miner was still at Casuarina Sands this morning at 9am.  It could be heard immediately upon arrival and was in a tree at the very end of the parking area next to the information sign.  Thank you for the posting, Roger.
 
Also this morning, there was no sign of the Lewin's Honeyeater at the Botanic Gardens but there were 3 Spotted Doves in Section 79 and I observed what seemed to be numerous (hopefully unsuccessful) attempts at mating.  Have they been recorded in the Botanic Gardens previously?
 
Regards,
Maurits Zwankhuizen
