birding-aus Lorikeets in Sydney

["David Geering"<>]

Can anyone tell me what the Musk Loikeets in Sydney are feeding on?  I can
only assume that there may be a shortage of nectar elsewhere causing these
birds to congregate on the coast.

If the Musks are doing this there is every chance other mobile species,
notably the Regent Honeyeater and Swift Parrot, may show up as well.  It is
well worth keeping particularly alert for these species.

Does anyone know the current state of affairs re. flowering of Swamp
Mahogany and Mugga Ironbark (particularly the Castlereagh area where the
Regents were last year).  It is probably still a little early for both but
it's worth keeping on eye on these things.
