History tells us a wet year is likely to mean a good breeding season for Helmeted Honeyeaters, and this year is proving that assumption to be correct.
At Yellingbo this year:
Twenty-five known fledglings, to date for the 2013-14 breeding season.
PLUS
Females sitting on four more known nests, including one female from the October 2013 captive bred release group.
This is all good news for the Recovery Program. Stay tuned for updates - the breeding season extends from August-February.
