Tue 14highlightPOSSIBLE Regent Honeyeater
Morisset behind PCYC
Saw a maybe Regent there this morning - glimpses of it as it moved away from me and I didn't have binoculars - was right size and colour and maybe brief call. For the last two weeks or so the Swamp Mahoganys have been in flower and there's been a lot of species using them, especially White-cheeked Honeyeaters. One tree I counted over 20 in. Usual Yellow-faced, White-cheeked and Scarlet Honeyeaters moving through along with Noisy Friarbirds, Red and Little Wattlebirds. Haven't had time to stop and do any decent sort of check due to a lot of extra work recently but have been watching for Regents and Swifties (both have been here in recent years) without any success this year until maybe today. (Moderator's Note: The Swamp Mahogany is definitely ramping up for another very good blossom season (Myall Lakes in particular is teeming with blossom and large nectar-sippers). The Lake Mac blossom is still a long way from peaking but this is a great sign. It would be great if people could follow this possible report up. The maximum count of REHOs here at the PCYC last winter was 5 birds, including a 2022 captive release bird. MR).
