Spotted
The Plain Honeyeater is a relatively large, dull-plumaged honeyeater found in the forests of New Guinea and nearby islands. Its subdued coloration helps it blend into the dense canopy where it forages. It is known for its robust build and powerful voice.
Where to spot
Primarily found in lowland and hill forests, including disturbed areas and forest edges, across New Guinea and a few surrounding islands like Seram and Gebe.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing calls in the forest canopy. It can be elusive due to its drab plumage, so patience and a focus on vocalizations are key. Look among flowering trees.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round within its tropical forest habitat. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly dawn and dusk.

Despite its name, the Plain Honeyeater has a strong and far-carrying call that can be heard across the dense forest, often betraying its presence before it is seen.
