Two notable recordings: In the area now known as Deniliquin Regional Park (Riverina, NSW) there are at least two pairs of purple-crowned lorikeets with one pair breeding in a river redgum and seemingly feeding young at present. These birds are feeding on black box (Euc. largiflorens) blossom and lerp on the redgums and the black box. This could be a first ever confirmed breeding record for NSW(?). These birds were discovered by Stuart Rankin about a month ago. The other interesting record is that of three wandering whistle-ducks at the wetlands around Wanganella; only my second sighting of this species in this district in thirty+ years birding.
