The Tawny-crowned Honeyeater is a small, active honeyeater endemic to southern Australia. It is characterized by its streaky plumage and a distinctive tawny crown.
Where to spot
Endemic to southern Australia, found in coastal and subcoastal areas from Western Australia through South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales. It prefers heathlands, mallee, and shrubby woodlands.
How to spot
Identify by its streaky brown and white plumage, pale underparts, and the distinctive tawny-orange crown. Look for it actively feeding at flowers, often hovering. Listen for its high-pitched, tinkling, almost insect-like calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its range. Most active during the day, particularly when flowering plants are abundant, often late winter to summer.
