Australia
The Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater is distributed in Australia except the tropical north, coastal south-east, extreme south-west and Tasmania. It is found in dry scrub, woodland and gardens. See the distribution map at Birdlife International. |

It looks a bit like a small wattlebird and is probably more closely related to them than anything else. Striking
features are its pink bill with black tip and its apricot-buff throat and upper breast. It also has a whitish streak on the cheek, a black mask and a
blue eye. The long tail has extensive white tips.
The yellow streak on the cheek of the bird in photo 4 shows that it is a juvenile. |
