Jay: I think this is one of this year's release cohort, so it would have been the keepers at healesville sactuary who banded it. If not, it would have been the field ornithology team.
db: Yeah mate, I'm out there once a month in persuit of Helmeted Honeyeaters, and Emu-wrens too of course!

Ah ok, that's interesting. Don't know much about helmeted HEs, that will be remedied no doubt by the talk at the healesville conference

Great photos. I recognise that laughing dove, and the tree it's sitting in
