Some of us managed excellent views of Regent Honey-eaters yesterday,
following the tree-planting in Capertee Valley over the week-end. On
Sunday morning, at c.10.15, there was a single bird about 350 metres
East of the Crown Station Road junction. About a dozen departing birdos
gathered at the roadside to share the experience, and all had quite
splendid views. Later, c. 2 p.m. there were more than half a dozen
Regents in the same area, right opposite the end of Crown Station Road.
Also in the area I found the following other species of Honey-eater:
White-Plumed, Yellow-Faced, Fuscous, Brown-Headed, White-Naped,
Black-Chinned (an excellent, close-up view), as well as the usual miners
and wattle-birds.
