| Sat 25 | | Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater
Biodiversity Park, Outer Harbor |
|
| Not the most exciting sighting, but from what I've seen there are very few records for Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater on the Lefevre Peninsula (1 eBird record, 1 iNaturalist record.). It was first heard calling when I entered the park, later seen perched on a bush close to the west entrance, still calling. Stayed around for about 1-2 minutes, before being attacked by a Red Wattlebird and flying away. Several photos were taken.(Moderator’s note: Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater is uncommon at this location, but moderately common further north along the coast). eBird checklist |

Bald Hill Beach, Gulf St. Vincent |
|
| One Arctic Jaeger briefly near the beach. Harassed a Crested Tern, then headed out to sea. Rarely seen in the northern gulf, and my last sighting at this location was in December 2019. |
