I have had one or two in mixed feeding flocks in my GBS area in Deakin most of the winter.  But yesterday, there were five YFHEs frolicking spring-like together with a sole White-eared HE (probably the one that has been around my place for a couple of months now) and two Eastern Spinebills.

 

Also a pair of galahs inspecting a hollow near my home (but outside my GBS).  All very Spring-like indeed.

Spotted a lone Yellow-faced honeyeater in the coastal banksia at my front door at 11:15 today.
