I've been asked to post a reminder that the National Regent
Honeyeater and Swift Parrot search days are coming up this weekend.
The information from the project team is reproduced below. Note that
searches can be done up to a week either side of the advertised
dates. If you go out looking for either of these species please
remember to fill in survey sheets, even if none are found.

The record sheet is available online at:

Cheers, Carol

Welcome to the 2008 Regent Honeyeater and Swift Parrot survey season

The national surveys for Regent Honeyeaters and Swift Parrots are
coming up again soon and we would love for you to join us in our
search for these endangered species.  There are already reports of
Swift Parrots in Victoria, NSW and ACT  this season, it will be
fascinating to find out where they will head to this year.

National Survey Weekends 2008

First national survey weekend is on the 17-18th May (third weekend
May) and the second survey weekend is on the 2-3rd August (first
weekend August). Mark these dates in your diary now! We also include
the week previous and following these dates, and of course want to
hear whether you have seen the birds at other times of the year.
