Hi Milburn,
 
In my first 10 years or so here, the Crescent Honeyeater was a regular winter resident in my garden, but not since. I have even had the New Holland successfully nesting in my garden once in the years since. When I first heard & saw the WFHE, in the gloom of a dull rainy day, I first wondered if that is a Crescent Honeyeater, even though it didn't look or sound right, it was about the right size & shape. I would have been quite pleased with that.......... The WFHE is quite vigorous at chasing Eastern Spinebills and Silvereyes out of the Grevillea.
