I think what Edwin says is quite right. I
saw a Scarlet H/E at Castlreagh NR on saturday morning, even thought
there was not much in blossom (more to follow).
As for Mikes comment, I used to regulary hear
Scarlet H/E along the nepean river near penrith in winter when
fishing. The only thing I could find in flower was the mistletoe in the the
river oaks. The mistletoe has a red flower, something that Scarlets seem to
really like.
And while on the topic, I had 5 male Scarlets in
one tree at Somersby (central coast NSW) about a month ago. I didn't know which
way to look.
