Hi all,
Regent Honeyeaters are still showing well in the Capertee Valley
(NSW). Last weekend with a group from BOCA we watched a pair feeding
small young in a nest high in a large tree beside the river. This is
a nest that I have been watching for a few weeks, so it's great to
know the eggs have now hatched (and fingers crossed for a successful
fledging).
In another part of the valley we saw a Regent hovering low over the
ground like a Restless Flycatcher, feeding on something on the ground
in long grass in a cleared paddock quite a distance from any trees.
It would then fly purposefully into the woodland as if feeding young
but we couldn't locate the nest.
Altogether at least six birds were seen in three locations and
everyone got brilliant views.
Cheers
Carol
