I had a hunch that if Milburn saw a flock of Black-chinned Honeyeaters flying south east from Mt Ainslie Nature park, then I surmised that Newline could possibly be in their flight path. After the wild weather of this week I wasn’t holding my breath.

 

I went out to Newline this afternoon and in quick time saw at least 1 Black-chinned Honeyeater. I convened a meeting of socially inept birders (including Milburn) with all getting great views of the bird/s. A second bird was seen late in the afternoon.  

 

I will submit a UBR.

Cheers
Alastair
