Apparently its a leucistic New Holland Honeyeater. It was reported on Birding aus about 1 week ago. Peter
Just returned from a BOCA outing at Pt Cook (SW Melbourne). Weather was cold, wet and windy - not conducive for great birding. Several of us saw a mystery bird flying low over some scrub. It looked about the same size (or maybe a bit bigger) than the numerous New Holland Honeyeaters that were present, but seemed to be a very pale cream/almost white all over, with the possible exception of a dark patch on the head. Views were very brief in very poor light. Any clues? -------------------------------------------- Birding-Aus is now on the Web at www.birding-aus.org -------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message 'unsubscribe birding-aus' (no quotes, no Subject line) to |
