Comments on some good records

Thanks for filling in a few more gaps. Some firsts for the year as well. Really pleased about the Black-chinned Honeyeater record; wasn't at all confident we'd get that this year having looked for it a couple of times lately without success (along Connors Rd, Helidon) - a very unpredictable honeyeater, locally.

Mallard would be new for the year too, provided it passes the test. Have a look at the criteria at the following link and let us know how your bird(s) scored.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if your Bell Miner was a first for Table Top Reserve. How many were there and where exactly were they?

Cheers
Mick
