|  | Brown HoneyeaterAmata Community - 26 09S 131 08E 1' Cell |
| Brown Honeyeater (1) Clamorous, strident call tipped me off to its presence in two large flowering Eucalypts (E. citriodora) in our yard. Was being constantly chased off by a range of 'locals' (White-plumed H/E, Yellow-throated Miner) but continued to return to feed throughout the morning. Calls played from both 'Birds in Backyards' and 'Xeno Canto' put i.d. beyond doubt. Was a little rusty on the call having not seen one in S.A. since late April 2005 in Pipalyatjara, some further 200km's west of here. Full list |
