Not entirely sure of the relevance, but the appearance of this species
in the Park Orchards area (Melbourne eastern suburbs) has occurred
during an abnormally prolific flowering season of the indigenous
eucalypt species (mainly red box). Probably not a coincidence.

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:
