Yellow throated honeyeater? French Island

Hi all,

I've been checking this forum from time to time over the past few years, first post.

I was down at French Island today in Western Port Bay. I saw a honeyeater in the carpark at Tankerton and checking options in books I'm thinking that it may have been a yellow throated honeyeater. 

I see this bird is meant to be endemic to Tassie and the Bass Strait Islands. Any chance this is what I saw? Sorry no photo, was getting my gear ready for a trail run.

Regards,

Simon

Always possible to have a vagrant, blown off course. Unlikely but not impossible.
