My first White-plumed Honeyeater

White-plumed Honeyeaters are common and wide-spread, according to my bird book, but this is the first one I’ve identified. I spotted it at Mary Flynn Campground on the Turon River in New South Wales. It’s an unassuming little bird, with plumage of soft greys and yellows, and quite large eyes relatively speaking.

In the photo, below the yellow face, you can just make out the white stripe that gives the bird the name “white-plumed”. Personally, I’d expected a grander plume to match the name, but there you go.

Common name: White-plumed Honeyeater
Scientific name: Lichenostomus penicillatus
Approximate length: 15-17 cm
Date spotted: 17 May 2025 (autumn)
Location: Mary Flynn Campground on the Turon River, NSW, Australia: 33°04’46.6″S 149°23’55.6″E

Uploading some of my observation backlog to #iNaturalist this weekend, and due to all the days I've been too tired to go out after work and just quickly snapped photos of the birds outside my window, I'm now the top observer of the blue-faced honeyeater. Here's the best one I've taken that I've stumbled on so far!

Nectar-eating bird with naked, iridescent blue skin around the eye surrounded by black feathers. Also has a black bib and a white line separating the bib from the helmet, extending from the base of the beak down the length of its body. Wings are an olive green. It's standing on a plant with green leaves and red flowers.

Noisy miner, Manorina melanocephala. These guys are generally pretty massive jerks to both each other and other bird species.

Haha I was playing one of Hearing Beings' field recordings* on my modestly good hifi system in the lounge and partner came in thinking there was a #honeyeater trapped inside the house 😆

Amazing what you see when you’re watching something else! I was photographing Vervet Monkeys at Werribee Zoo when this New Holland Honeyeater landed in the bush next to me. There were no flowers, so I think he was just curious.
