It will be interesting to see if the WFHE
moves on now. The weather has really shifter the last few days and maybe that
will cause some consequence for the bird…..

White-fronted Honeyeater gives more surprises
The White-fronted Honeyeater was here throughout
Saturday. Sunday was different. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, I
went several times to find it but found no sign at all. I thought it was
"gone for good". I went to visit ANBG and on my return still couldn't
find it. I walked around the "little block" (to the park, Hiles Place and
back through my yard). Then as I had given up, it appeared again. It was
feeding in blossoms in Gordons' yard, also preening. Then back in the Grevillea
but was very active including a long fluttering chase of a moth. Then it went into
my peach tree and into the very big Eucalypt in my back yard and was feeding
by probing about in the loose bits of bark and at the joins of branches. I
had not seen that before. I got about 3 minutes of film of that. On a few
quick looks I have not seen it yet today.
