Subject: New Holland Honeyeaters breeding
New Hollands can nest in any month of the year. Although Pizzey states July
to January as the main breeding season, they regularly breed throughout the
autumn months. This year I watched one feeding nestlings on 11th May while
thousands of Yellow-faced and White-naped Honeyeaters migrated over.
I’ll never forget once finding a New Holland nest with 2 nestlings right
beside an active lyrebird mound in mid-winter, while the lyrebird was in
full display. What a show to begin your life with!
Cheers,
Carol
