    Birder James Bennett (Instagram @jamesbennettwild) photographed the birds in flowering Eucalyptus robusta trees. It was the largest winter flock spotted anywhere in three years and the largest in Lake Macquarie since 2011.
    Fewer than 350 regent honeyeaters are estimated to remain in the wild.
