Predation of Regent Honeyeater nests

[Dean Ingwersen <>]

Hi all,

During the 2015 captive release of Regent Honeyeaters in Chiltern-Mt Pilot NP, 
we have worked to undertake video monitoring of nesting birds to examine 
reasons for nest failure.  Today we put out a joint press release with DELWP 
(Victorian Govt) that demonstrates predation of nests (and attempted predation 
of the sitting females) by both Sugar Glider and Squirrel Glider.

The link to the story is here:
