Scarlet Honeyeater irruption?

[Carol Probets <>]

Just catching up on a backlog of emails so a late reply to this 
thread. Keith, there were several Scarlet Honeyeaters at Scheyville 
NP in the Hawkesbury on Twitchathon weekend (1st Nov) and the week 
prior to that.
I think there have been more than usual in the Blue Mountains lately: 
e.g. Megalong Valley (as per my earlier posting). I've also seen them 
at Blackheath last week and on the Wiggins Track at Springwood 
yesterday.
However, there seem to be fewer than usual in the Capertee Valley. 
Not surprising given the dry conditions and lack of flowering thereat 
the moment.
Cheers,

Carol
