Hi Robin,
Excellent photos. For those interested the White-naped Honeyeater is an immature bird told by the brown, rather than black, head and lower nape.

Also saw White-eared and White-naped Honeyeaters on the lower South-Eastern slopes of Mt. Ainslie during my morning walk today ...
... along with Silvereyes, Scarlet Robins, Superb FairyWrens, Spotted Pardalotes, White-Throated Tree Creepers, quite a few Thornbills and a good sprinkling of other species that I didn't take particular note of.
All in all, a colourful morning walk!
Regards ... Robin Eckermann
