The alarm call of a New Holland Honeyeater is a single, high-pitched whistle blast and I am often treated to it as I move around the garden. So I was surprised to hear that alarm call, amplified tenfold, as I sat on the front verandah, and was moved to investigate. What could be ten times more alarming than me? Just a LW, a baby at that, I suspect, minding its own business. Perhaps the New Holland was calling for back-up, though none arrived. One on one, the LW can easily muscle out a New Holland. Lumbering humans aren't very alarming at all.
