Hi Tim, To be honest I'd forgotten Brown-headed in my initial blog post, but
that's now been amended. Yes, I would be struggling to think of anywhere you
might get all four. Greg

Hi Greg, fantastic stuff. I think you're right. There mustn't be many places
you'd get Black-chinned, White-naped and White-throated together. However
you can throw Brown-headed Honeyeater in to the mix. I wonder if there's a
location where you get the four mainland Melithreptus honeyeater together
(Black-chinned, White-naped, White-throated and Brown-headed). Girraween or
Sundown National Park perhaps? My money is on Durikai State Forest.
Cheers,
Tim Dolby

Today in the Sunshine Coast hinterland at Moy Pocket I had the three
mainland species of Melithreptus honeyeater - Black-chinned, White-naped and
White-throated - feeding together in eucalyptus trees.
There can not be very many places where this is possible; I'd like to hear
from anyone who has seen the three together. Black-chinned in particular is
rare in south-east Queensland.
