Honeyeaters from the Top End

There was a lot of noise from the honeyeaters, especially the White-fronted, Brown and White-gaped varieties, but by far the most noise came from myself and my two sons when we had an amazing close-up experience with a Red-headed Honeyeater while walking along the Mangrove Boardwalk at East Point:

There were a few others we saw in Darwin and Kakadu, photos below:

  3. Hi Richard, some nice variety there! They should call us the "land of honeyeaters"!
    The last bird looks like a White-throated Honeyeater?
