Wild Bird Wednesday 380 - White-Plumed Honeyeater

The White-Plumed Honeyeater (Lichenostomus penicillatus) is a widespread and common Australian endemic.  It is also I bird that seems to have escaped my photographic pursuits until I went to central Australia a while ago.

Like many of my recent WBW posts this bird was living (wild) in the Desert Park in Alice Springs.  The White-Plumed Honeyeater has a wingspan of about 90mm and at its heaviest reaches about 24 grams.  So, its not really a big bird!

I really like the colour contrast in these pictures between the bird and the plant on which it is perched.

    Superb wee critter, Stewart - and I swear these images would transfer very well into graphics for wall-paper. I kid you not, such things as these can be found on high-end walls! Yellow and grey are a classic colour combo!!! YAM xx

    Great shots of the white-plumed honeyeater. I have seen them here in the Adelaide Hills, but only in a wetlands area. Pretty things.
