Re: Melbourne Regent Honeyeater

["Chris Lester"<>]

Richard,

I found it on Saturday late afternoon.  It was exactly in the area of the
instructions, ie under the major power line (actually just east of it by
about 50 metres), on the opposite side of the Main Yarra Path to the
vandalised shared access path sign (Melways 32J3).  The bird was in the
Acacias about 15-20m from the track towards the river.  It was sitting very
quietly and moved only once in my observation of 15-20 minutes.

Did any Melbourne birder find the Regent Honeyeater along the Main Yarra
Path over the weekend??  Diana and I looked fairly widely in the reported
area on Saturday morning without any luck.  If anyone has seen it in the
past 2 days (or does so in the next few days) I would appreciate specific
directions as to exactly where.
