Field Notes
Description:
A large bird (11 cms long) with an olive back, white belly, dark throat and blue patches on face.
Habitat:
This bird visits the paperbark tree in our backyard - suburban area near creek.
Notes:
An exciting experience seeing these in our backyard. A pair visit at times to feed on insects under the papery bark of the Melaleuca. <br> Photo quality is not good as it was difficult to get a clear shot against the bright sky and from a distance- my apologies. <br> This spotting is to document species, place and time only. I will replace the pics if I get better ones. <br> Although called honey eaters their diet is mostly invertebrates supplemented by nectar and fruits. <br> Family: Meliphagidae
