Tweet of the week 6 July 2025
This weeks tweeter is the Regent Honeyeater. It ranges from the southeast of Queensland to the northeast of Victoria.
Some call it the "jewel of the forest" for its striking black-and-yellow colours.

And some good news this year... Conservation experts have high hopes for a mass eucalypt budding event across the Mid North Coast and Hunter regions - the heart of the Regent Honeyeater's range. And that budding is a result of the healthy soaking the trees have had since April and May.
And this week's winner is.....
