Hi David,
The Noisy Friarbirds were active in Spotted
Gum/ironbark forest west of Grafton but I didn't specifically note the species,
although I think that it was Large-leaved Spotted Gum Corymbia
henryi. This species is in heavy bud in the Grafton-Coutts Crossing
area at present and during the next few weeks should attract a large number of
nectar/pollen feeders. The Square-fruited Ironbarks Eucalyptus
tetrapleura at Coutts Crossing are in heavy bud as well and Grey Box
Eucalyptus moluccana were flowering heavily at Swan Creek 1-2 weeks ago
and may still be doing so. Our local Forest Red Gums finished about a
month ago but this species flowering seems quite variable in
the Valley.
Regards
Greg
