Another photograph of the Black-chinned Honeyeater taken at the waterhole in Chiltern on 9 May 2024.

At that time of the year, the Ironbark are flowering. That attracted a lot of Honeyeaters to the area. These include Black-chinned Honeyeater, White-plumed Honeyeater, Fuscous Honeyeater, Yellow-tufted Honeyeater and a lot more. The area was also dry which explains why the waterhole is popular with the bird.
