In the last week the White-fronted Honeyeater has tended to arrive and leave from the north side, rather than along Hiles Place. It seems to like to forage in the scrappy Black Wattle and the Cotoneater overhanging my long and ragged driveway, and then fly over my house, down to the Grevillea at the other side of the path at the front. I have heard and or seen it calling each morning this week (incl today) from the plum and or peach tree just outside my study window. It is easy to find if it is calling or active but very difficult if it hides, as it has taken to hiding in the Photinia hedge or the Melaleuca above the Grevillea and is very hard to find in there. Again, people are welcome to try their luck but I won't be around all weekend. I was out all afternoon and last saw it mid day Friday.
