Hi Birders,
 
Carol Proberts, John Leonard and others commented on the abundance of or otherwise of small honeyeaters  this winter. Here on the Central Coast, Yellow-faced Honeyaters were as abundant as ever, however the numbers of White-naped Honeyaters was definately up being seen in heath, forest and woodland in numbers not usually reported for winter. Fuscous Honeyeaters which are usually only reported at one or two sites every few years in winter were seen at more than ten locations May-August feeding in flowering Swamp Mahogany  along with the other two species. Silvereyes were also very common. However earlier in the year in May-June, because of good seasonal conditions inland Silvereyes were present in good numbers much further west than usual and were seen at Mootwingie (now Mutawingi?) NP and Gunderbooka NP in May-June, and at Deniliquin in August.
