Media notes
A Brown Honeyeater at a nectar feeder with Silvereyes. Brown Honeyeaters (Lichmera indistincta) are widely distributed from south-western Australia north and eastwards across northern Australia to mid-New South Wales. Other races occur in Papua and adjacent Indonesian islands. Brown Honeyeaters are not strongly marked, but their loud calls are often heard when nectar-bearing plants are in flower and along waterways. This Brown Honeyeater was feeding at a nectar feeder in a suburban garden in Booragoon, a southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, with Silvereyes, Red Wattlebirds, Singing and New Holland Honeyeaters. The Brown Honeyeater was subordinate to all of the other nectar-feeding birds present, and was only able to feed when they had left the feeder. Elevation: 24 m. Date added to IBC: April 21, 2019.
