I’ve observed a group of 4 or 5 Fuscous Honeyeaters at the Pinnacle on several occasions over the last month or so, which is also unusual in my experience. They’re often in company with a couple of Yellow-faced HEs, several Red Wattlebirds and occasionally Rainbow Lorikeets and are being attracted by flowering eucalypts (Red Stringybark, among others).

Cheers,

John

This morning there was a flock of 36 Red Wattlebird in Black Mountain Nature Reserve. They were most likely feeding on a leaf-caterpillar infestation in the canopy. The location was the saddle between Black Mountain and Little Black Mountain.

Later, near Caswell Drive, there was a mixed flock of honeyeaters. These included a very unusual record for Black Mountain Nature Reserve - 6 Fuscous Honeyeater.
