Scarlet Honeyeater Solo, Howe Flat

Another recording made on the Howe Flat Boardwalk. This time a male Scarlet Honeyeater calling from the canopy of tea-trees. We hadn't really heard the Scarlet Honeyeaters before as they are a fairly rare visitor to Melbourne, although they have been seen in the Outer Eastern suburbs earlier in the year. Once we knew the call it was apparent that Gippsland was teeming with these little red and black birds.
