That is interesting. Crescent Honeyeaters are not a particularly social species. Nor are they common enough to generally have that many together. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t. In Tasmania I found them much more common, but locally only in collections, along the Murrumbidgee river.

 

Funny though when I was in Philippines I several times I heard a bird call just like Crescent Honeyeaters but of course it wasn’t. I still don’t know.

A small flock of about 10 YFHE came over this morning while I was outside for 5 minutes.

Also an unidentified flock of about 10 honeyeaters, the size of Crescent Honeyeaters with strident calls, came after the Yellow-faced .  Do Crescent Honeyeaters move out from the mountains or migrate?  Could this group have been Crescents?
