Early morning yesterday, 22/11/02, I observed 2 male Black Honeyeaters in
the trees around the old Quarantine Station at Cape Pallarenda Conservation
Park, in Townsville.
This is well east of it's normal range and as far as I have been able
to find, a new record for North Queensland, although I do have a faint
recollection of it, or something like it, being recently recorded on the
adjacent Town Common. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me of any previous
sightings in NQ, if there are any.
One of the few pluses of the drought I suppose.
