At least one Black Honeyeater still around early this morning, a female. I was able to watch it for 15 minutes while it preened and poked around in a dead mistletoe, occasionally making short sallying flights after insects. It was only 70 metres east of the dam described by Marnix, on the eastern edge of the adjacent treeline. I also had very brief views of what may have been a male flying through.
 
A lot of bird activity in the same general area, with Little Lorikeets (heard), Rufous Songlark (heard), White-browed Woodswallows, Jacky Winters carrying food, Brown-headed and White-plumed Honeyeaters, Spinebills, many Striated Pardalotes, Speckled Warbler, 2 Hooded Robins, very vocal Trillers etc etc
 
Thanks Marnix and Maurits, great find
 
cheers
 
Steve
