	Honeyeater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like their closest relatives, the Maluridae (Australian wrens), Pardalotidae (pardalotes and thornbills), and Petroicidae (Australian robins), they originated as part of the great corvid radiation in Australia-New Guinea (which were joined in a single landmass until quite recent geological times).
		Although honeyeaters look and behave very much like other nectar-feeding passerines around the world (such as the sunbirds and flowerpeckers), they are unrelated, and the similarities are the consequence of convergent evolution.
		In general, the honeyeaters with long, fine bills are more nectarivous, the shorter-billed species less so, but even specialised nectar eaters like the spinebills take extra insects to add protein to their diet when they are breeding.

	British Isles Birding -&--&- by Richard Bonser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The eccentric farmer here was extremely friendly and helpful, saying that he regularly clears the track that leads to the honeyeater site as well as pointing out the newly constructed signs his granddaughter made stating ‘honeyeaters, this way’.
		Macleay’s, Graceful, Yellow-spotted, Lewin’s and Bridled Honeyeaters regularly visit the feeders whilst confiding Emerald Doves and Red-browed Firetails are continually present.
		Pied Monarch, Orange-footed Scrubfowl, Brown Cuckoo-Dove and Grey-headed Robin are all relatively common in the grounds of the park.

		Returning to the car park I found a Dusky Woodswallow perched low in a tree, and there were more native-hens around a small pond to the left (on the right as you drive in).
		Both Little Friarbird and Singing Honeyeater were seen in the trees on the other side of the pond, as well as commoner birds such as White-plumed Honeyeater, Crested Pigeons and overflying Straw-necked Ibises and Whistling Kite.
		One honeyeater which had so far eluded giving me tickable views, despite being glimpsed a couple of times, was Brown-headed Honeyeater, but I finally managed to get good views of this relatively non-descript species.

		The edges of its wing feathers are washed a greenish-yellow.
		The Brown Honeyeater looks very similar to the Dusky Honeyeater and to female Red-headed and Scarlet Honeyeaters, which are also brown.

		Yellow-tinted Honeyeater: Not seen until the Katherine area, thereafter seen daily across to Kununurra and Wyndham.
		Brown Honeyeater: Common and widespread, good numbers seen most days -the other honeyeater to be seen on every day of the tour
		Bar-breasted Honeyeater: Scarce this year, probably due to the poor flowering of scrubs and trees, particularly melaleucas around Katherine; only two birds seen, one along the South Alligator River near Waterfall Creek and the other at Adelaide River township

	Birdwatching Trip Report from South East Australia + Tasmania (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		We parked on the side of the road at the summit, and eventually managed views of Crescent Honeyeater. A little further along we parked in a parking area on the right hand side, and followed a narrow trail into the rainforest, where we soon found a Scrubtit.
		This area is a reliable stakeout for breeding Swift Parrots, but it was getting late in the seasons and most birds had moved on. However, we could hear one bird calling, and eventually Tonia spotted it in the top of a tall gum.
		At this point we found probably the scarcest and most difficult of all the birds I saw during this trip, a superb Square-tailed Kite soaring over farmland. The views were quite distant, but adequate to see the main identification features, and I was more than happy with any views of this very difficult bird.

		A spectacular, unbelievable bird with the brightest yellow you've ever seen on the belly and undertail coverts (the area of the bird behind the belly), with a scintillating dark blue throat and brown upper parts.
		A Blue-faced Honeyeater is working in a palm tree at the check-in point.
		We go out for a walk to take advantage of the remaining light, and a few spots away, the occupants, who are sitting outside their caravan (trailer), see that we're birders, and point us to a Brown Honeyeater nest, filled by its occupant.

		At Mamukala we had all the typical wetland species already mentioned plus Whiskered Tern, Gull-billed Tern, Australasian Grebe and Plumed Whistling Duck. In the woodland surrounding the billabong there were Lemon-bellied Flycatchers, Rufous Whistler, Varied Trillers and a real surprise, several Long-tailed Finches with Double-barred Finches.
		Finally we headed up to Curra Moors where we saw White-eared Honeyeater fairly easily and had a brief view a of Tawny-crowned Honeyeater.

		I was looking for the bird, and when I saw it, it was five times bigger than the size I was searching for.
		We get Dusky Honeyeater, and Chris says he hears a Graceful, also.
		Peter and Chris can't quite make up their mind if a bird is a Brown-backed Honeyeater, so we pass on it.

		Other attractive birds such as Dollarbird and Rainbow Bee-eater were seen daily, and Australian Koels were very effective alarm clocks at 4 a.m.
		A brilliant area for birding with a range of habitats; farmland, lakes, eucalypt forest, and best of all Samsonvale cemetery, where I saw new species on each of my four or five visits.
		If waders aren’t your thing then there are Varied Honeyeaters and Double-Eyed Fig-Parrots too.

		The blue "wings" on this back view of one of the finalists in the beauty contest is actually the breast plate of the male Superb BoP, and the row of bodies beneath all the fl Stephanie's are Dusky Lories.
		By far the easiest place for this species that I know is just north of the Kolorong Pass south of Wau Ecology; they usually come straight in to tape playback there.
		Two months ago Sam had organised a hide at the display ground of a male Magnificent BoP and it was a huge success for the Brits, but after we had gone the landowners made a garden close by and the bird abandoned the place.

		Lunch was a salad feast with our first Australian Brush-turkey occasionally wandering past the tables, but the Orange-footed Scrubfowl in the gardens after lunch were a bit less tame, and were actively building their mounds.
		Soon everyone was getting views of different parts of a female Southern Cassowary in deep cover and then better views as she stood and revealed herself, stalking slowly off vanishing into the tangled forest.
		A water hole attracted Yellow-faced Honeyeaters, but the salt caves picnic area was pretty quiet as was the rest of the forest in the hot afternoon.

		13th July - the area around Eungella National Park is an essential area to visit, mainly due to the fact that it contains an endemic honeyeater that can only be found in this one small area to the west of MacKay.
		17th July - a return visit to Townsville Common Environmental Park from dawn until mid morning produced a couple of new species, with the Forest Walk producing both Horsfield's and Gould's Bronze-cuckoos, Blue-winged Kookaburra, Great Bowerbird along with numerous Spangled Drongos, Yellow-bellied Sunbirds and Yellow Honeyeaters.
		After flying from Sydney, we were scheduled to spend two nights in Dubai city before returning to London.
