Wow - thats great stuff Greg
I've had black- chinned and white naped feeding together at Durikai and brown
-headed close by - but personally ive never managed white- throated out there -
four together would be amazing and no doubt possible! its a fantastic area for
honeyeaters - on a train right now but at a guess around 15 - 20 honeyeater
species possible there - one of my favourite birding spots
Cheers
