Honeyeaters Central Tablelands

[Chris Ross <>]

I was at a site I get to regularly on the Ilford- Sofala road, at around 
1000m altitude last weekend.  The area is farming contry, however this 
property has a lot of stringybark woodland and is connected to a large 
wooded area.  Quite a few shrubs have been planted on site including 
Banksia marginata.
On the weekend I saw a lone male Crescent honeyeater feeding in the 
Banksias and getting involved in disputes with the local spinebills.  
First time I've seen one there in about 10 years plus of going there and 
watching the birdlife.  Also I saw a white plumed honeyeater which is 
definitely not a regular on site, I've seen one in the past. Quite a few 
white eared honeyeaters around as well, they are more normally down in 
the gullies around there.
