Hi,
I'd be interested to know if anyone's come
across yellow-faced honeyeaters in abundance anywhere close to inner-city
Sydney.
I found one last week foraging on a small
eucalypt just behind the rollercoaster at the back of Luna Park, Milsons Point
(alonside the officeblock at 6 Deng St) - I
guess a wayward southern migrant. This otherwise treeless half-acre lot of weeds
and vines supports numerous bulbuls, superb fairy wrens, white-browed
scrubwrens, silvereye and the odd red wattlebird. The red wattlebirds can
occasionally be heard in busy Walker St, feeding on generous balcony planters.
Across the harbour in Sussex St, there are blackbirds in and around a tiny
neglected overgrown lot (near the corner Erskine St).
Regards
