Scarlet Honeyeaters in the Megalong Valley, NSW

[Carol Probets <>]

At the moment there's an irruption of Scarlet Honeyeaters in the 
Megalong Valley (Blue Mountains NSW). We heard or saw them almost 
everywhere we stopped throughout the valley on 9th-10th Nov, once 
past the rainforest section. The only significant flowering I can see 
along the roadside is Thin-leaved Stringybark (E. eugenioides). There 
are also many Noisy Friarbirds, Little Lorikeets and other smaller 
honeyeaters about.
Lots of bird activity at the Old Ford Reserve where the road crosses 
Megalong Creek, including both Leaden and Satin Flycatchers, 
Dollarbird, White-throated Gerygone and a pair of White-eared 
Honeyeaters building a nest.
Cheers,

Carol
