White-naped Honeyeater
4 sections
The White-naped Honeyeater (*Melithreptus lunatus*) is a small, energetic bird native to eastern and southeastern Australia. It is best known for its bold black cap, bright orange-red patch of bare skin above each eye, and a distinctive white crescent band. This species is a regular sight in eucalypt forests and woodlands, where it forages high in the canopy and is often heard before it is seen.
