On our Australia trip in May/June of 2019, I didn't really know what kind of honeyeater species we might see, but I WAS aware that there was a really big variety. We did run across several of them on the trip, but my favorite, and favorite photo, was White-cheeked Honeyeaters. Perhaps it was because I was able to see them out in the open on a sunny day! This was taken in Bongil Bongil National Park along the east coast of Australia. They were actively feeding on the blooms of Banksia trees (believe I have that right), the blooms (and nectar) of which seemed to be favorite feeding spots for many species.
We saw a bigger variety of Honeyeater species up in the tropical northeastern part of Australia, but most of those were seen at a stay at the "Rainforest Canopy Treehouses" near Tarzali, where it was definitely a rainforest! Gorgeous location, but rained much of the time, and most of my photos of them were pretty gloomy in comparison to the bright sunshine and blue skies of this photo.
