Hi Everyone
I am a newcomer to birding-aus and am greatly
enjoying all your comments.
This morning I spent some time watching a
white-throated treecreeper feeding in a Banksia spinulosa. The bird appeared to
be taking nectar rather than insects. It approached each flower by hopping
along the underside of the branch then perched on the side of the flower and
inserted its beak. This was repeated several times, each flower chosen was
a fresh one which was likely to contain nectar. I have never seen a
treecreeper behave in this fashion before but perhaps someone else has? I
would be interested to hear if this is normal behaviour.
Regards,
Jill
