That's interesting, maxhr. To what do you attribute the increase in visible bird numbers &/or activity?
Fantastic photos - scarlet honeyeater is stunning
Great shots, I love the Scarlet Honeyeater! I also noticed a lot of birds after the heavy rain in Sydney.
The bad weather seems to interupt their normal feeding/habits.
Yes, good hypothesis. I suppose they're out & about stocking up on food that they missed out on while sheltering from the storm. .
Quality photographs maxhr. The scarlet honeyeater is always a nice find.
We had some strong winds and heavy rain in SE Qld last night.
Samford Valley Qld.
Cracking photos Maxhr! I found that after the rain last weekend, the Silvereyes & Grey Fantails were chasing all the insects that were everywhere. There was even a Rufous Fantail amongst them.
Nice pics and find, Max!

Aiming for DSLR-quality shots with a bridge camera
Thanks everyone, been trying to snap a scarlet honeyeater for years.
for some reason they were all clustered in one straggly bottle brush.
The nectar must have been perfect because i counted 6 species of honeyeater visiting this shrub.
sometimes you get lucky.
Magnificent shots
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
