Regent honeyeaters' mysterious journey to be tracked with cutting-edge tech
Submitted by Chickowee on 23 Jun 2019.
When Leslie Kelly heard an unusual bird call in her western Sydney garden, it was a delightful surprise to find it coming from a critically endangered bird released hundreds of kilometres away.
The sighting of a male regent honeyeater earlier this month, nestled among backyard grevillea and callistemon at Oxley Park, is another promising sign of recovery for the species being closely watched following a captive release program in north-east Victoria.
Conservationists are now hoping to use cutting-edge technology to track the flight of the regent honeyeaters as early as this year.
