Great set of images again Richard. Those yellow faced Honeyeaters were fairly plentiful around the trees where I was staying south of Adelaide but they were very shy and keep themselves very well hidden. The Scarlet Honeyeater is very spectacular. Keep us entertained with tropical birds and send some sunshine, it has been typical grey, rainy and blustery here. FYI: No, I am not talking about Boris Johnson.

Thank you Jonathon As we've had a few consecutive days of zero covid cases, hopefully this weekend the restrictions will be lifted and we'll be able to travel again. It'll be great to visit a few of the good birding spots we have. Yesterday was Melbourne Cup, so I ventured out early to a local reserve. #1 Sacred Kingfisher  #2 Sacred Kingfisher  #3 Sacred Kingfisher  #4 White-naped Honeyeater  #5 White-naped Honeyeater  #6 Yellow-faced Honeyeater  #7 Grey Shrike-thrush  #8 White-eared Honeyeater  #9 White-plumed Honeyeater  #10 Common Starling

I am no bird expert or even un-expert as I certainly dont know many of the names. Are starlings in Australia the same species as Starlings in UK? Probably named the same by settlers as they looked similar but I dont think that they are the same species due to geographic distance. I guess they must have come from a similar lineage though.

So what has happened to the removal of non-indigenous species program? Does it not apply to these starlings? The cane toads are being removed.
