My pondering over the continued absence of some bird species led me to revisit last year's Jan/Feb diary entries, where I read how around 30 New Holland Honeyeaters drove off a Little Wattlebird (LW). I have only spotted a couple of New Hollands this year, there are no LWs (that's probably why it seems quiet...), and just a single Red Wattlebird. It seems that the majority of medium to large nectar feeders, and also ground feeders that dig out worms, grubs etc, have gone. It is mainly the seed and insect eating birds that remain. Sorry the pics are a bit grainy, by the way. It was a bit of a reach for the lens.
