User's notes
Small honeyeaters. These are Autumn passage migrants, nearly always in the company of larger numbers of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters. It is good to see Dryandra Street Woodland contributing to one of the great annual ornithological events in the Canberra bird diary. Image insufficient. Adults were present in flight and at rest. Description: small honeyeater with lunette shaped white nape. 'Eyebrow' is orange red. Distinctive rasp calls delivered.
