Next weekend – August 1 & 2, Birdlife Australia is conducting surveys to locate populations of Regent Honeyeaters and Swift Parrots. There are lots of potential survey locations on their website throughout Victoria, NSW, ACT and QLD (see the Excel spreadsheet towards the bottom – Suggested survey locations for Swift Parrot and Regent Honeyeater surveys). There are also forms to fill out after the survey and send to Birdlife.
For more information about the surveys see our webpage or contact Dean Ingwersen (Regent Honeyeaters), Mick Roderick (Swift Parrots in NSW, ACT and Qld) or Caroline Wilson (Swift Parrots in Victoria).
I will be out there surveying in Greater Brisbane, probably with my husband. We didn’t have any luck in May so really hopeful for this one! The weather reports for next week show another cold snap coming in so I hope the birds are enjoying our relatively warm winter in QLD by now!
These photos are from Wikipedia to show the birds we are looking for.
