Hi Edwin and all,

Re the Blue-faced Honeyeaters in western Sydney, Sandra Boxsell has also been seeing them periodically at Cranebrook near Penrith for the past few years. I included an item about this with one of Sandra's photos last year on my website:

It all first started at home in Seven Hills when just before I headed out shopping, I heard the distinct whistling call of a BLUE-FACED HONEYEATER, and I was soon observing an adult perching on an antennae on the roof of the people behind us. Wow great to get a rarity from your own backyard and a great way to start the weekend too! Blue-faced Honeyeaters appear to be resident in only one spot in Sydney that being at Wisemans Ferry area (approx. 80 km NW of Sydney CBD) on the north-western outskirts of Sydney and occassionally turn up in other parts of the Hawkesbury (Keith Brandwood has seen some of the later birds) but in due course may become well established in other parts of Sydney.
