I don't want to start a 'yes it is', 'no it isn't' argument, but I believe
that the Grevillea newbeyi has always been the LWB (=Little Wattlebird
;))'s main haven. That is where I first saw it on 13 July and on many
occasions since - in fact, several times I have waited around for a few
minutes looking for the bird, thinking it wasn't around, and then realised
that it had been sitting quietly in the Grevillea, only a couple of feet
away, all the time!
