Brisbane Painted Honeyeater?

[Gavin Goodyear <>]

Hi Russ and all,

Visited this site early afternoon today (Sunday) and missed the Painted 
Honeyeater but observed a couple of Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater- one 
hanging around the yard on the corner of Oasis Ct and Serenity Way, and 
the other down near the creek. Very vocal.
Also of local interest was a single Sanderling observed on Saturday 
morning feeding on mudflats at low tide at Godwin Beach on the mainland 
between Ningi and Bribie Island. Possibly the same bird photographed by 
Bob Inglis and seen by others near Buckleys Hole on Bribie Island a 
couple of months ago.
Cheers
Gavin Goodyear
