Mary Gorman and I did not find the Black-chinned Honeyeater at
Newline this afternoon(between about 1.45 and 3.15). But we did see
pairs of Crested Shrike-tit, Brown Honeyeater and, one paddock south,
Southern Whiteface, as well as a Grey Butcherbird, near the quarry
road a bit less than 1 km south of Pialligo Av.

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.
