| Thu 31 |  | Yellow-plumed Honeyeater
Hall TSR (road reserve) |
|
| Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters (at least two) were seen by the road just inside the ACT border. They were in a flock dominated by Yellow-faced, White-naped and Fuscous Honeyeaters with a few White-eared and White Plumed Honeyeaters present. The Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters would seem to be out of range and outside there preferred mallee habitat.
[Moderator's note: This species has never previously been reported in the ACT] |
