Scarlet Honey Eater (Myzomela sanguinolenta)

These delightful Birds arrive in the North around May and stay until October. They are the most delightful songsters. The female and juveniles are a quite dowdy brown.

The Scarlet Honeyeater lives in open forests and woodlands with a sparse understorey, especially round wetlands, and sometimes in rainforests. It can be seen in urban areas in flowering plants of streets, parks and gardens.
