Somebody a week or so ago reported some Apostlebirds at Stone Hut in the Mid North of South Australia and I’d like to add that I have seen them there too over the last couple of years, outside the bakery. It was suggested that this represented a widening of this species’ range and this is possibly so. However, this Wednesday I saw a single Apostlebird in the main street of Watervale which is some considerable distance further south, ie some 15km south of Clare , whereas Stone Hut is close to 100km north of Clare. On the same day I caught a quick sighting of a pair of White-backed Swallows flying around the southern end of Port Broughton.

Painted Honeyeater arrived a regular site on private property in the valley on either 10th or 11th. The mistletoe has plenty of fruit this year so fingers crossed for a good Painted Honeyeater year.
