White-eared Honeyeater - Lichenostomus leucotis
The White-eared Honey-eater is fairly solitary and records are usually of only one or two birds. It feeds less on nectar than most other honey-eaters, more often foraging for insects among leaves and bark of eucalypts. It has a loud and distinctive call that often attracts attention.
