In 2004 I was at Narromine in central west NSW. Here the many Silky Oaks which line the town were in flower. I saw quite a few species feeding on and around the blossoms namely, Little Friarbird (in large numbers), Blue-faced Honeyeater, White-plumed Honeyeater and to a lesser extent small flocks of Noisy Friarbird while Peewee, Grey Butcherbird and Willie-wagtail were feeding on the insects attracted to the nectar.
