Be part of locating the Black-chinned Honeyeater
ReBird the Ranges is calling on anyone who has heard or seen the rare Black-chinned Honeyeater, to report it - so efforts to protect them can be better targeted
Make sure you unmute to listen to the bird call
Heard it 🔊🐦? Do tell 🗣️!!! It is the call of the Black-chinned Honeyeater. Once widespread*, now only 50-100 individuals may remain in the region.
If you have heard or seen it, here is how to record and share sightings: https://rebirdtheranges.org/help-find-the-black-chinned-honeyeater/
Why get involved?
🐦 Despite its conservation status, there are major knowledge gaps about the species' current distribution, seasonal movements and habitat use.
😎 Community observations can provide valuable information from across a much larger area than researchers could monitor alone.
⏰ The best time to look or listen is now - sightings are most commonly recorded during spring.
📊 Sightings submitted will be analysed alongside acoustic monitoring data and existing records by Adelaide University researchers to improve understanding.
🌿It will help inform where future restoration and conservation efforts should be focused.
*across the Barossa, parts of Adelaide, the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
