White-fronted Honeyeater and it's favourite food.

White-fronted Honeyeater and it's favourite food. by aaardvaark.
Much excitement as this bird has recently been seen for the first time in Canberra. This second appearance is right in the garden of a COG member (COG is Canberra Ornithologists Group, i.e. the birdo group).

What surprises me about this particular bird is how sedentary it is, having inhabited the same Grevillea bush (Grevillea rosmarinifolia) and the surrounding area now for over a week. The WFHE is common in more arid areas but exceedingly rare around here, yet another signal of the drought severity. Hopefully now waning.

I think it's sad for this poor individual (although sounds like its a survivor). Makes you wonder if it doesn't want to leave somewhere it can get reliable food now that it's been found, despite all the unwanted attention it is probably getting ;-).

Lovely shot!
