Blue-faced Honeyeater Hawker Oval
Looking for the Blue-faced Honeyeater as reported by Peter Christian
yesterday, and after a long wait (at around 10:30am) the bird appeared,
and foraged for around 10 minutes in the far side of the ironbark. It
called as it flew off, but could not be relocated. Poor photo attached.
With Steve Wallace and Lyndon.
