following up on an Eremaea posting regarding a sighting of the Singing Honeyeater at the ASI wetlands beside Ginninderra Drive I caught a brief glimpse of it in pursuit of a White-plumed Honeyeater.
 
It was initially in a group of small eucalypts at the south-western corner of the pond(s). I was attracted to it by its occasional "brrrrittt" call. As I arrived at the afore mentioned trees two honeyeaters took off one chasing the other across the pond into the casuarinas on the Ginninderra Drive side. To my mind the slightly larger one was doing the chasing. I had previously seen a WPHE in the general vicinity.
 
Despite a search I could not relocate the bird(s).
 
This was about 3:30 this arvo
