The White-cheeked Honeyeater is a strikingly patterned honeyeater with prominent white cheek patches and yellow wing panels. It is found in coastal eastern and southwestern Australia.
Where to spot
Occurs in coastal heathlands, woodlands, and forests in two disjunct populations: eastern Australia and southwestern Western Australia.
How to spot
Look for its bold white cheek patches and its energetic feeding on nectar. Listen for its loud, distinctive calls. Often seen in pairs or small groups, actively defending feeding territories.
When to spot
Active and vocal year-round, especially when native plants are flowering, as these provide its primary food source.

This species is a vital pollinator for many native Australian plants, particularly banksias, which it often feeds on almost exclusively, playing a key role in their reproduction.
