A brief but IMPORTANT note for all those birdos have visited or plan to
visit, north east Victoria.
Observers may be aware that the Chiltern area currently has Regent
Honeyeaters. I've heard of some birdos visiting Chiltern, have seen the
Regies but then not passed on their observations to Birds Australia or to
David Geering (see below).
It is VITALLY important that ALL sightings (even if you think they have
already been reported from a site) be reported to David. If you see a
Regent Honeyeater, take special notice of any leg bands and the birds
behaviour (which may suggest breeding). Then talk to David as soon as
possible - don't wait!
Every little bit of information on our threatened birds is important if we
are to properly address their conservation.
cheers, Martin
