Have just received a report of Painted Honeyeaters from Chiltern
yesterday. Details are
Species: Painted Honeyeater
No.: at least 2 calling loudly from mistletoe in an Ironbark tree
Date: 4 April 2006
Location: Chiltern (north west edge of town), north east Victoria
Ref: 36 deg 09 min 146 deg 35 min, 8225 - 640000
Alt: 200 m
Obs: EC
Painted Honeyeaters are a threatened species in Victoria and on the list
of threatened taxa under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee (FFG) Act. A FFG
Action Statement has been compiled to address the conservation of this
species in the state.
Interested list members can contact me directly for FFG material on the
species (which I'm happy to send or indicate our web site address).
The observer will be forwarding the observations to the Atlas of Victorian
Wildlife (AVW). I encourage all birdos to report sightings of threatened
species to the Atlas or myself and I'll pass on to AVW staff.
cheers, Martin
