We have two Silky Oaks flowering at the moment. Like Anthea, I am surprised
at the lack of birds feeding in these trees. I see the occasional Red
Wattlebird, Rainbow Lorikeet or Noisy Friarbird in them and very rarely,
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters. Last week I saw what I at first thought were
White-naped Honeyeaters in the larger tree but closer inspection showed them
to be a pair of White-winged Trillers. They appeared to be feeding from the
flowers but may have been gleaning insects.
