birding-aus Regent Honeyeaters

["David Geering"<>]

I have recently been advised of Regent Honeyeaters in the Mudgee district
of central NSW.  Although nothing is flowering at the moment (at least not
where the Regents were observed) it was suggested that White Box may flower
shortly.  The Regents were actively feeding on lerp in roadside White Box.

 It could well be worth the while of anyone travelling in central NSW to
have a look at roadside vegetation that might have heavy loads of lerp.
Although not reported, I assume that other smaller honeyeaters such as
White-naped Honeyeaters would also be attracted to this lerp potentially
making it easier to identify these areas.

Happy hunting and please report all Regent Honeyeater records.
