White-cheeked Honeyeater?

Post by gileas »

Hi Kay,

White-cheeked Honeyeater would be pretty unusual at Durakai, they are normally found in coastal heath and wet forest. Could the bird have been a New-holland Honeyeater? That would still be unusual but more likely. I'm also aware of at least one White-fronted Honeyeater record from the site, and given the recent record in Brisbane that is another possibility.

Regards,
Chris

I'd say Kay meant White-eared Honeyeater.

Kay, please confirm.

Thanks
Mick
