4 sections

Lewin's Honeyeater is a medium-sized bird commonly found along the east coast of Australia, from Victoria to far north Queensland. Recognisable by its olive-green-grey plumage and crescent-shaped yellow ear patch, this species thrives in rainforests, wet forests, and even gardens with dense native plants. Its presence is often revealed by its loud, rattling call echoing through the foliage.
