I was watching a program last night about people buying a home in Noosa, QLD.
At one of the houses they looked at, there was a birdfeeder with some fairly
large honeyeaters that I could not ID on a quick look (it has been 17 years
since I last studied for a trip to Oz). The real estate agent referred to them
as powder-faced honeyeaters. I was impressed as always with Australians'
general knowledge of nature, but could not recall such a bird or find it in a
list of honeyeaters.
I assume it is a local name, and the only impression I recall is some blue on
the face, but it seemed more powdery than I would expect from a blue-faced
honeyeater. Can anyone enlighten me as to what these birds would have been.
Thanks all.
