Spotted
The Little Friarbird is a medium-sized honeyeater characterized by its bare, dark facial skin and a small knob at the base of its bill. Unlike its larger relatives, it lacks the prominent casque. This vocal bird is common across northern and eastern Australia and southern New Guinea.
Where to spot
Widespread in open woodlands, forests, savannas, and even suburban gardens across northern and eastern Australia, and parts of southern New Guinea.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing, often repetitive calls. Look for its distinctive bare facial skin and the subtle knob on its bill, distinguishing it from other honeyeaters. It often perches conspicuously in trees.
When to spot
Observable year-round in many areas, but its presence can be seasonal in migratory regions. Most active during the warmer months, often seen feeding on nectar and insects.
