the New Hollands are back

I was waiting for the New Holland Honeyeaters to come back. One lone one stayed all winter, but this morning I heard them, and when I went outside, there were 6 of them in the trees. Male and female. They inspected last years shrubs, but only one of them is in flowers . They stated to fight over it straight away. Can't be long though before they will have flowers.

Here are the first photos of one of them.

Verrrrrry nice.  A lovely showing of this bird.  Hope you can get many more as the season progresses.
