Stuart Harris saw the White-fronted Honeyeater and took some photos of it at about 4.30 yesterday. I saw it this morning at about 9.30 (also showed it to John Waldron(?) although I didn't have time to stick around) and about 30 minutes ago (only attempts I've had today). First time it took about 2 minutes to arrive, second time it was already there. I will be out part of tomoroow and don't know about the weekend yet. Directions are simple. Go into Hiles Place and turn right at top of the T and stop at bollards, walk past yellow brick house (on left, the one with the dogs), look at next house which has brown vertical weatherboard, the Grevillea is on the left (and my house on the right behind the Photinias). If it is not already in there or flitting or sitting in the deciduous trees near there, it normally arrives along Hiles Place within 5 to 10 minutes. It has a few favoured trees to stop off along Hiles Place. It is about a 5 metre walk (someone arrived in a wheelchair on Tuesday and saw it).
 
Listen out for the "toc" call or a double "shirp" (a bit like the migration call of the White-naped Honeyeater). (why can't I change the font size?)
