This male Scarlet Honeyeater (Myzomela sanguinolenta) was photographed in bushland
beside Tallebudgera Creek. Only a tiny bird, growing to just 11cm or about 4" from tip to
tail. Their range is down the entire eastern coastal regions of Australia. As with many bird
species, the female is not as boldly coloured as the male.
