I had a look at the Breeding Section of HANZAB for the Grey-fronted
Honeyeater. Frank's observations of a pair of nesting Grey-fronted
Honeyeaters accounted for much of what was known about the nesting biology
of that species at the time Vol 5 of HANZAB was written. This is a clear
demonstration of the importance of recording your observations in public
media, as well as the importance of Birding-aus in providing that service.
I scanned the two pages of HANZAB that referenced Frank's observations and
have sent them to him.

Stephen Ambrose mentioned "Often these birding-aus reports are the first
public records of those observations."
I was amazed years ago when the authors of HANZAB asked to reference some
posts I had made to birding-aus about nesting Grey-fronted Honeyeaters
outside my office at the Argyle Diamond Mine in the Kimberley. I don't have
the volume of HANZAB ready to hand to see how this is referenced.
So please keep submitting small (or longer) posts about bird behaviour of
any form. Even if people don't read it ;-) it will be available for people
searching for that type of information, as all birding-aus posts are kept on
archive.
