Sightings

Yellow-faced Honeyeaters are summer visitors where we lived, 20 km south of Narrabri, New South Wales. They are shier than other Honeyeaters and therefore harder to spot. After several sightings in 2004, we did not see any in 2005, but then again in August and September of 2006. Spotted in Mount Kaputar National Park, where they are common, in September 2007 and again in April 2008. Also seen in Deriah Forest, 30 km east of Narrabri, in May 2008.
