I am too quick to communicate. When I finished on
e-mail and logged off, I went out again for about the 10th time today, to check.
As the bird was almost always in the Grevillea at about 5 p.m., I thought it
worth another try. The White-fronted Honeyeater was calling ("toc") and I found
it straight away, feeding from the red Japonica flowers about 3 metres to
the west of the Grevillea (still along the same path). As that is a much more
open bush than the Grevillea, I went inside to get my video and got another bit
of about the best film I have of it feeding. Filming it in the
Grevillea was much more difficult, as it mostly kept to the centre of a
thick bush.
The Grey Shrike-thrush was there too.
