Spotted
The Banded Honeyeater is a small, active honeyeater easily identified by its distinctive black chest band across its otherwise pale underparts. It is widespread across northern Australia.
Where to spot
Found in open eucalypt woodlands, savannas, and shrublands across northern Australia, ranging from Western Australia to Queensland.
How to spot
Look for its small size and prominent chest band. Listen for its high-pitched, buzzing calls, often given in flight or while feeding. Often seen in small, active flocks.
When to spot
Active year-round, but movements are highly influenced by local flowering seasons. Best observed when flowering plants are abundant.
This nomadic species often follows the flowering of eucalypts and other plants, moving across large areas to find reliable nectar sources, exhibiting a strong adaptation to resource availability.
