Kimberley Honeyeater

1. Grey eyes with a pale streak below, and no yellow edging on wings or tail

2. Dark grey upperparts and light grey underparts with a milky-white belly

3. Distinctive flute-like, short whistled song phrases

These honeyeaters feed on nectar from eucalypts and paperbarks, as well as insects, which they catch by gleaning from foliage or snatching in flight. They are often seen in pairs or small groups, moving actively through their rocky habitat. Breeding occurs from August to January, with nests built from spiderweb and plant fibres, typically holding two pinkish eggs spotted with red or brown.

The Kimberley Honeyeater is endemic to the Kimberley region of Western Australia, inhabiting rainforests, eucalypt woodlands, paperbark forests, and especially the dissected sandstone escarpments and gorges. It is present in protected areas like Charnley River–Artesian Range Wildlife Sanctuary.
