Crescent Honeyeater (photo by Gail Bryant)
In October we spent a week around Adelaide and a week on Kangaroo Island. On KI we visited Raptor Domain and the owner was kind enough to offer us a cup of tea on his verandah. This just happens to be where he feeds a few birds. Gail was able to take close-up photos of Crescent Honeyeaters for the first time. Other new species added were:
Australian Shelduck
Long-billed Corella
Whiskered Tern
Little Raven
Fairy Penguin
Purple-crowned Lorikeet
Purple-gaped Honeyeater
The highlight of the month though was finding and taking video of
Regent Honeyeater
at Lake Cathie. Gail took plenty of photos of the Regent Honeyeater – an endangered species. So the total is 406 species on video!! Is 500 possible??
