The White-naped Honeyeater is a common and active honeyeater easily recognized by the prominent white band on the back of its neck. It is widespread in eastern and southern Australia.
Where to spot
Found in eucalypt forests and woodlands across eastern and southern Australia, including Tasmania, preferring taller eucalypt stands.
How to spot
Look for the distinct white nape band, its most prominent feature. Listen for its loud, energetic, chattering calls, which often betray its presence. Often seen in active groups in the mid-to-upper canopy.
When to spot
Active and vocal year-round, especially in areas with abundant flowering trees. Most active during the morning and late afternoon.

This species often forages in large, noisy flocks, moving rapidly through the canopy and meticulously probing bark and flowers for insects and nectar.
