Dear all
Another beautiful May day ! And on Wednesday (12/5) the Gang-gang Cockatoos
returned (after being absent for more than a year) to the sugar gums with 6 at
the SE corner of Dendy Park, Brighton.
Over the weekend Long Hollow Reserve, Beaumaris, came alive with a male Golden
Whistler and Pink Robin on 8/5 with another Whistler, Grey Shrike-thrush, many
Spotted Pardalotes, Spinebills feeding on the Silver Banksia blossom,
Mistletoebirds and a group of White-plumed Honeyeaters (scarce in the foreshore
compared with previous years) on 9/5 (after a trip to Ricketts Point showed 2
or so Common Terns have not yet migrated).
The Singing Honeyeater was still at Half Moon Bay on 9/5, a Spiny-cheeked
Honeyeater was around the Hampton
Sandringham Harbour on 10/5 and the Buff-banded Rail was still at the
Elsternwick Golf Course on 5/5.
But the oddest record was a dead Short-tailed Shearwater in Landcox Park, East
Brighton (about 3km from the shore of Port Phillip) on 11/5.
