SINGING HONEYEATER
The coastal shrubs and bushes such as those around the 9th tee are a favourite habitat for the Honeyeater family of birds. One the more easily to spot members of this family is the Singing Honeyeater.
The Singing Honeyeater is a medium-sized, active bird commonly found throughout South Lakes. Easily recognised by its greyish-olive plumage and its distinctive black streak though its eye from the bill to the neck, bordered by a yellow streak below the eye grading down to its white throat.
Singing Honeyeaters are highly adaptable and feed on nectar, insects, and occasionally fruit, making use of the diverse plant life around the lakes. They are often seen foraging in pairs or small groups, darting between bushes and calling to each other with their characteristic sweet notes. Their presence brings both movement and beautiful sound to the landscape, making them a favourite among local birdwatchers.
