Make that 47! It was there at 8 this morning. As Philip previously described,
it landed in the top of a deciduous tree, did lots of tocking, then joined some
Silvereyes for a few minutes before flying into the grevillea where I had
fantastic views.

Subject: Hypothesis testing with a WFHO
Some have asked if there is a best time to see the White-fronted Honeyeater. On
Wednesday I wrote: "it is still focussed on the Grevillea much of the time but
in particular it is in there almost every day at around about 5. p.m."
Testing my hypothesis: I checked, it was in there at 5. p.m. yesterday (but I
also saw it on each of my several short tries at about 10, 12, & 2) and two
others found it here at about 11. On one time today it was sitting in the open
tree only a metre or so from a White-plumed Honeyeater, both were busy preening
and they took no obvious notice of each-other.
I've now a list of 46 "birdos" who have seen it. Still a 100% success rate.
Hopefully we can make it to over 50 this weekend.
I saw it there again at 11 am today and can hear it from my study room.
Philip
