Peter,
In about 1994 I saw Mangrove Honeyeater along the boardwalk at
Minjungbal (Tweed Heads Historic Site).

Also visited Tweed Heads Historic Site and Ukerabagh Nature Reserve
in South Tweed Heads to get my annual record of Collared Kingfisher
(calling well with at least 6 individuals seen in 15 minutes).
Didn't hang around too long as the mosquioes were particularly
fierce.
I am certain that one day I will turn up Mangrove Honeyeaters there,
but so far have had no luck. Does anyone know of any sites other
than near Yamba where this species can be found in NSW? I suspect
there are records at Brunswick Heads and I wouldn't be surprised if
they also occur at Cobaki Broadwater (where Shining Flycatchers have
been seen in the past). However, I don't know how to access the
latter spot so have never done any bird-watching there. I have seen
Mangrove Honeyeaters once before (east of Maryborough) but it was
over 20 years ago so am keen to track them down. Otherwise I will
have to battle the crowds in Yamba (or head further north into
banana bender territory and find them there).
Have a good Christmas all.
Cheers,
Peter
