Where is a good place in the ACT to see a
Fuscous Honeyeater? - around my garden in autumn and winter. But that is
just my opinion based on because that is where I am. I think they are generally
evenly spread around. Within suburban Canberra it is clearly more a matter
of best time of year, rather than best place. Try winter time. Maybe you are
making it hard for yourself by looking for one, rather than listening for groups
of them. When in groups they are often noisy and easy to find. Though they are
not especially visually obvious. Within the ACT, outside of Canberra and other
than winter, the COG Atlas gives hints, (highest reporting rate in Naas valley)
although things might have changed over the years since then.

Before Eremaea merged with eBird it was possible to get
information on the best place/s to go and find a particular bird that you want
to see. I don’t seem to be able to get that information from eBird, or Birdata
or any other database. Is there a way of accessing this
information.
And/or perhaps you can help me. Where is a good place in the
ACT to see a Fuscous Honeyeater? They seem to be a bogey bird for me, as others
seem to report them with regularity but I haven’t positively seen one for few
years! I am either not seeing them or I’m dismissing them as something else. So
I’d like to have a good look at them in the wild (so to speak) to help get my
eye in.
Thanks,
John
