Hi
A birding friend is planning on a brief visit to Eungella next week.
He is seeking any up to date advice on the status or location of the Honeyeater.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Fiona
Last time I looked for this bird in June last year, I found a few individuals near the junction of Dalrymple Rd with Snake Rd – you won’t need 4WD either. You go to the township of Eungella & then turn right (north) into Dalrymple Rd. Snake Rd turns left (west) off this rd about 10kms further on – it’s a while ago, so it could be 15kms, but it did have a signpost when last there…
I had them from just near this intersection about 100mtrs up Snake Rd to about 400mtrs further up & they were getting into the mistletoe.
Just listen for their strange calls & you should get them if they are there… I was there from 7am til 10am. Their call to me at least, is like a high-pitched Bridled HE with a bit of Drongo/Rufous Fantail/Willie Wagtail thrown in !! It’s a pretty strange sound… you should also get great looks at Regent Bowerbirds in that spot too, or just a bit further along Snake Rd – I had a very nice male there last year & I hope he’s still hanging there for you.
Good luck & cheers
