Most mornings my parter and I sit on the fron porch, having breakfast. With the Callistemons in flower the honeyeaters are everywhere. I don;t even move fromt he chair, the camera is on a tripod beside me (an old Nikon D300 and 50-500 SIgma)
So while at the table
Meanwhile at the other end of the verandah I heard the first of the season
and then this beauty showed up
Beautiful Grevious! I'm envious
What is the bird in photo 4, after the photo of the male scarlet honeyeater? (another honeyeater of some sort)
Cheers

Female Scarlett Honeyeater, I think ? Albeit I am not sure and was going to post in the bird ID forum for confirmation.

Thanks Grevious. I wondered if that's what it was too.
