There is currently a flock of at least 25 Regent Honeyeaters showing
well along Crown Station Road in the Capertee Valley (NSW). They have
been at this site for over two months now and while flowering of
suitable plants has finished they are now feeding on lerps. White Box
are just starting to flower at some sites in the valley. Volunteers
at the tree planting weekend on 6-7 May had great views of these
birds.
Aside from this, the weekend was again a great success with 4000
trees and shrubs planted on two properties. The next planting weekend
will be on 12-13 August.
cheers,
Carol

As the weekend that has just passed was the National Survey weekend
for those two Threatend Species........
The Central Coast Regent Honeyeater Volunteer Operations Group was
organised to survey 54 Central Coast (NSW) sites last weekend, and
while I am yet to hear from all participants, no one has reported
any Regent Honeyeaters or Swift Parrots as yet. It looks as if the
box/ironbark trees are flowering sufficiently to keep Regent
Honeyeaters inland this autumn .....
