Wild Bird Wednesday 464 - White Eared Honeyeater

While parrots may grab all the headlines, the group of birds known as the Honeyeaters are also classic Australians with about half of al know species of this group being found here.

They can be difficult to photograph as they dash from flower to flower, but these White Eared Honeyeaters (Nesoptilotis leucotis) had become used to drinking at a water station in The Mallee and were a little easier to photograph than normal.

This is a medium sized honeyeater, is found in the South West and South East of Australia, but is absent from much of the interior and north.

  2. Another pretty bird. Australia has so many. The yellow with a tinge of green is very attractive.

    I am a fan of the lesser known birds... those considered, perhaps ordinary - you know, those LBBs! This isn't one of those, but I understand what you mean about being overlooked for bigger louder fancier... the honeyeaters are all the delight of their para-cousins. YAM xx
