N is for New Holland Honeyeater and more new honeyeaters
The New Holland Honeyeaters remind me of overgrown mosquitoes. They fly around at high speeds and have that very sharp beak. Luckily it gets used for obtaining nectar vs stabbing innocent humans. Around here, it isn't the mosquitoes but the ticks that give me grief! We found brown and white cheeked honeyeaters where we have been housesitting in Swansea. The white cheeked one is similar but different to the New Holland ones (bigger and different white patterns) The brown honeyeater seems to have gotten the short end of the stick with the naming convention and doesn't seem all brown to me! They do have a lovely song! But, I guess the brown honeyeater needs to be differentiated from the brown headed honeyeater we saw when we were visiting Rylstone. There are still more but figure you are running out of interest at this point. We had an international netflix party and watched K Pop Demon Hunters synchronously with the kids earlier today. Fun to just connect in...
