Dear all
The Singing Honeyeaters at Black Rock Life Saving Club are paired and may
now be nesting.
A Yellow-faced HE at Long Hollow Reserve on 24/11 may be the same bird as
recorded there on 3/10. They haven't bred in Bayside for 25 years.
Other records include Stubble Quail in a Beaumaris garden and Satin
Flycatcher on 25/11. At Ricketts Point there have been sightings of Grey
Plover - the 2nd Bayside record - and Stints, and a dying Arctic Jaeger was
rescued from a rock platform.
Tawny Frogmouths and Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes seem to be doing well. One
or more Pied Currawongs are hanging around - never recorded before in
October or November in Bayside..
The Musk Lorikeet return was earlier than in the last 5 years and, along
with them, Purple-crowned and Little Lorikeets appeared.
Lastly a Cape Barren Goose was reported as on the Hampton Beach.
Confirmation of this and any other interesting records are very welcome.
