Follow-up on my Eastern Spinebills: that White-Cheeked Honeyeater turned out to be a bit too aggressive for its own good.
When some Rainbow Lorikeets came to visit, it decided to have a go at them as well. Trouble is, the lorikeets come in groups, and each lorikeet is about 4 times the size of the little honeyeater. The end result is the White-Cheeked Honeyeater was driven away. And because they don't bother each other, my little spinebill friends came back.
(This was all last week - I'm away right now. But even for birds, it does seem as if sometimes ye reap what ye sow...)
