New Holland Honeyeater Phylidonyris novaehollandiae
These birds are common across Tasmania, with bold black,
white and yellow plumage. They often seem somewhat unkempt, with feathers fluffed
askew. This fellow was at Franklin, where there are a number who congregate
around the riverside boardwalk just north of Frank’s Cider. They are wary of
people, and will move rapidly when disturbed, so you have to be patient, slow
and quiet. Being small, a decent photo requires getting fairly close. It took a
while. He looks a little grumpy, “Go away and STOP bothering me”.
