Spotted
The Pied Honeyeater is a striking black and white honeyeater of arid and semi-arid Australia, notable for the male's bold plumage and buoyant flight. It is largely nomadic, following flowering events.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid scrublands, mulga, and acacia woodlands across inland Australia.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive black and white plumage, particularly the male's. Watch for their characteristic undulating flight. Listen for their soft, fluting calls.
When to spot
Most reliably found when flowering plants, especially Eremophila, are in bloom. More active during cooler parts of the day.

Males perform a spectacular aerial display during breeding season, flying high into the air and then parachuting down with fanned tail feathers while singing.
