When I started this series about some of our critically endangered birds, the regent honeyeater whose main breeding site is not so far away from us was listed as critically endangered, but as that site has been pretty much destroyed by the Gosper’s Mountain Fire, let’s hope that he is not now extinct. Only time will tell. Here he is with some kangaroo paw and a beautiful Royal Crown Derby vase.
