Have You Seen This Bird?

Posted 3 December 2008 in by Catriona

Seriously, I haven’t the faintest idea what it is, but it’s beautiful and keeps coming to feed off the palm trees.

From the looks of its bill and from its behaviour, it’s an insectivore, at least partly.

Can anyone identify it for me? Even my father, the former twitcher, is stymied.

I’ve seen a few of them around the place but I haven’t the faintest idea about what it is, other than a bird.

It’s a Blue Faced Honeyeater

Ah! That makes sense: I was thinking it looked like a wattlebird, which is my mind is right next to a honeyeater.
