Regent Honeyeater, Stanmore, SEQ

Following Roger Jaensch’s Birdline report of Regent H/E on 24/10 we visited Cove Rd in the late morning.After a relatively brief search in the area designated by Roger, a single Regent H/E was located , initially by call, at the top of a flowering euc. outside the entrance to 650 Cove Rd at 1145am. The bird remained feeding in the canopy until chased-off by Noisy Miners, and later again by Torresian Crows. However it returned twice after absences of 10 or more minutes, I suspect because this is the only euc.currently in blossom in this small patch orf roadside vegetation. The favoured tree is the large euc.to the left of the entrance to 650. Viewing conditions were not ideal with a dull, cloudy sky and a flighty bird but good views were ultimately obtained.
