User's notes

I don't know what kind of honeyeaters these birds were. The call wasn't all that pretty but continuous - enough to drive you to distraction. They weren't hanging upside down for nectar, but upright, and not moving very quickly - but all up in the leaf litter making it hard to get a photo or even get a good enough look. There were lots of bird calls this morning I didn't recognise. THese two were one of them.
