Max,
In my experience the key to finding Brown-headed Honeyeaters is to
learn their call. It's a sharp staccato 'jik - jik - jik' call,
starting with individual notes and accelerating and 'splintering'.
Once learned, it's easy to recognize in the field and can be used to
track down Brown-heads which forage in small noisy groups. They're
not uncommon in dry sclerophyll woodlands in western Sydney, but
they're highly nomadic.
