Bird(s) of the Week
Milestone Honeyeater. Crescent Honeyeater (Phylidonyris pyrrhopterus) is not just a lifer. Not just clean-up genus Phylidonyris (With New Holland & White-cheeked Honeyeaters). This is my 98th global honeyeater, which means I have more the 50% of the 195 Honeyeaters in the world.
Photographed at Scott Creek Conservation Park, South Australia.
Red-lored Whistler at Murray – Sunset NP
Elegant Parrot (Neophema elegans) ticked 2 weeks ago without photo. At Cox Scrub Conservation Park it was easier.
Dusky Woodswallow feeding chick
Pacific Gull (Larus pacificus) – not a lifer – but you can see the water through his nostrils!
