As mentioned below. Its local foraging territory appears
to be based on Philip’s house. Note pink eye-spot. >From my
couple of observations, this particular bird draws attention to itself with a
dry ‘tchok’ or ‘tchok-ok’.

Subject: [canberrabirds] White-fronted Honeyeater is still in KAMBAH
Re
yesterday's message. Matthew Frawley came past at about 5.30 p.m. (too late for
bird watching). Geoffrey Dabb came here about 10 a.m. and has just left.
Geoffrey and I walked along the Hiles Place cul de sac and park and back
through my yard again and then when we got in the front again, the
White-fronted Honeyeater appeared again in the same trees as yesterday
the only place it appears to be feeding is the low Grevillea in my neighbour's
front yard. Conditions are much better today, bright and sunny, I got more
video of it, in which the lighting and focus are much better than yesterday's
effort and Geoff took some pictures which he will post. Geoff had another quick
viewing after me. The ID of White-fronted Honeyeater is completely certain.
I
need to be away to attend another function on Saturday afternoon but people can
come by at other times. Also I need to go to Woden this afternoon. I have just
been told that I am being offered a "courtesy car" which I will
need to collect. Because after 3 months under repair, they still haven't fixed
my car properly and are now waiting on a new head gasket (to start again).
