Photo please? Years ago I saw a YFHE at Tidbinbilla NR visiting flowering Urn Heath Melichris urseolatus in winter. Forgotten now what month but it was way beyond when most YHEs had gone.

Two flocks of YFHE's ( about 12 each) passed through Little Mulligan's this morning. Some spent time foraging in upper foliage. One was feeding in an epacris/ heath? shrub about 30cms high with pale lemon flowers. ID please? It was in an open area and it was focussed  on getting the nectar.
