A single White-fronted Honeyeater in a small flowering gum within 50 metres of Fulica Hide at about 11.10 am. Fulica is the first hide you come to after crossing the big wooden bridge. Also in the area were Yellow-tufted (1), Fuscous (3+), White-plumed (5+), New Holland (5+), and White-eared Honeyeaters (1), as well as many Red Wattlebirds. A lot of the eucs in this area have flowers on them.
 
I had the bird in view for 5-10 seconds from about 10 metres away. A sparrowhawk with an appalling sense of timing then flew through, and although I had a quick search for about 15 minutes I couldn't find the WFHE, or many other honeyeaters, again. Hopefully it's still there somewhere!
 
cheers
 
Steve
