Yellow-faced honeyeater was the season's prominent small honeyeater (noisy friarbird representing the larger group) ...
Also enjoyed views of spotted pardalote, treecreepers in their classic poses and rufous whistler. As well as the aforementioned gang-gangs and YTBs there were other parrot companions in king parrot, sulfur crested cockatoo and crimson rosella (not pictured).
