Leo and I observed the Newline Black-chinned Honeyeater today (my first view) - on first sighting it was being pursued by a pair of White-plumed HEs into a tree to which it escaped and began feeding (the tree was not in flower).  Some 10 minutes later its quiet feeding was rudely interrupted by another WPHE vectoring in out of nowhere straight to the Black-chinned and chasing it I think beyond the edge of the paddock.  Maybe this is normal life for a solitary vagrant Black-chinned HE, or maybe life is getting a bit harder.
