Decided to spend a casual day checking out what's
flowering for next weeks Swift Parrot count in the Inglewood/Kingower/Moliagul
area of central Victoria.
By mid afternoon I realised I'd seen 14 sp. of
honeyeater and so decided to chase some more!...successfully!
There's some good areas of flowering Blue
Mallee,Red Ironbark(Dardanelles rd.)and Yellow Gum but it's very
patchy.
Found 15 Swifties near Rheola.Perhaps it's the
recent rains but the birding here has really picked up.
The Honeyeaters were:-Red
Wattlebird,Spiny-cheeked,Noisy
Miner,Yellow-faced,Singing,Whie-eared,Yellow-tufted,Yellow-plumed,Fuscous,White-plumed,Black-chinned,Brown-headed,White-naped,New
Holland,White-fronted,Tawny-crowned and Eastern Spinebill !!!
Also worth noting were Crested Bellbird,Shy
Heathwren,Southern Scrub-Robin,Purple-crowned Lorikeets.
Some days everthing just falls into
place!!!
Happy birding,
Simon Starr,Pyramid Hill,Vic.
