Tue 28 | | Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater 350 Denver Road, Hindmarsh Island, South Australia (-35.531, 138.901) |
The bird was seen feeding in roadside vegetation along Denver Road. First alerted by its distinctive call, then observed a large honeyeater with a streaked breast, a pinkish-black bill, and an orange-brown throat and chest. I’m not entirely sure what the bird is doing here, as most sightings in close proximity to this area are typically reported from locations such as Monarto and Belvidere. But it’s definitely an unusual sighting for this region. eBird checklist |
