Spotted
The Little Wattlebird is a large, noisy honeyeater common in coastal and subcoastal areas of southeastern Australia, identified by its streaked brown plumage and lack of wattles (fleshy facial appendages).
Where to spot
Open forests, woodlands, heaths, and urban gardens along the eastern and southeastern coast of Australia.
How to spot
Look for its large size, streaked brown plumage, and active feeding at nectar-rich flowers. Listen for its loud, often raucous, gurgling calls, which are a characteristic sound of its habitat.
When to spot
Active year-round. Very conspicuous around flowering plants, especially Grevillea and Banksia.

Despite its name, it lacks the prominent fleshy wattles seen in other wattlebirds, which helps distinguish it from its larger relatives.
