Hi David
Have you looked at Eremaea lately? There are Scarlet HE popping up
everywhere. Quite a few Twitchathon teams saw them. We got a couple at
Park Orchards, where up to 3 have been seen.
This is quite unlike the last time we had Scarlet HE west of Melbourne
- in 1994 there were a couple (1 or 2 - can't remember exactly) in the
library car park at Deakin Waurn Ponds. Margaret Cameron showed them
to me - they were the first rarity to go on birding-aus!
It will be interesting to see just how widespread they are, and I
encourage anyone who sees them in Victoria to put a record on Eremaea:

I visited Fairy Dell on the afternoon of of 4 November and saw in
excess of
20 Scarlet Honeyeaters - and heard lots more.
Interestingly, I saw 3 Scarlet Honeyeaters at 100 Acres Reserve in
Melbourne's east on 31 October.

David
