Chiltern-Mount Pilot National Park, VIC (Jun, 2011)

Two days spent at Chiltern-Mount Pilot National Park were well rewarded.

The weather was great, the environment beautiful, and among the birds we saw, there were a couple of Regent Honeyeaters.

This is an unbanded adult. It was keeping company with a banded Regent Honeyeater.
