Scarlet Honeyeaters have been rather uncommon in the Clarence Valley, North
Coast NSW, recently. Maybe you have our birds up there.

I returned from Vietnam on 8 January to my property on the outskirts of
Armidale, NSW to discover that the Angophora sp trees were in flower.
Commensurate with this event were rather vocal and moderately large numbers
of Scarlet Honeyeater, calling, singing and feeding at the inflorescences. I
note Angophoras are flowering in the neighbourhood and around town, however,
I was wondering just to what extent this event was taking place? And if
anyone else had observed a similar had enjoyed a similar encounter with
Scarlet Honeyeaters I would be most interested to hear form them. I checked
with my neighbour and to my surprise she has not seen any at all. This is
the first time in our 4.6 years of ownership of this property other than two
brief sightings of single birds that we have encountered this species on our
property.
