Field Notes
Description:
The Blue-faced Honeyeater has broad wings with rounded tips and a medium squarish tail. The sturdy slightly downcurved bill is shorter than the skull. The distinctive feature is the bare blue skin around its eyes. The head and throat are otherwise predominantly blackish with a white stripe around the nape and another from the cheek. The upperparts, including mantle, back and wings, are a golden-olive colour, and the margins of the primary and secondary coverts a darker olive-brown, while the underparts are white (Wiki)
Habitat:
Hanging about in the park at Nanango.
Notes:
I just learned that one of the subspecies is found here in the Kimberley...challenge accepted :)
