The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period
Monday, May 30, 2011 to Sunday, June 5, 2011:
Area: SA
Date: Saturday, May 28, 2011
Location: Mylor
Rose Robin (Petroica rosea) (1) Male seen on Crossing Rd, Mylor during the YTBC
survey on Saturday. My first sighting of this species so my confidence in
identification is not 100%. Was definitely not a Scarlet or Red-capped Robin
and had full male colour, not the drab, more subdued tones of females of the
species. I would like confirmation of the sighting if it is at all possible.
Was in the same area again on the Sunday but he didn't show up.

Mistletoebird (Dicaeum hirundinaceum) (1) A brilliant-coloured male was
foraging in a small clump of mistletoe growing on a leafless deciduous tree on
the roadside, just north of St Peter's College. There were several clumps of
mistletoe, so maybe there is a resident group of mistletoebirds.
