I can only assume it is the same bird that has been there for some time now. During my observation they showed no sign of aggression at all. After looking at subsequent shots i notice that there is a second New Holland further up the branch watching.

Could it be possible that the White-cheeked is a young bird and the New Hollands are now caring for it?

Yes looks odd. Would it be the same White-cheeked Honeyeater as was found there a few months ago. Could it be aggression? I have a similar observation of close beak to beak contact between a Regent Honeyeater & a Red Wattlebird.

This morning at Jerra wetlands i was watching a New Holland and the White-cheeked Honeyeater hanging around together and at one point it appeared that the New Holland fed the White-cheeked. A bit odd i thought.
