Melithreptus lunatus

The White-naped Honeyeater (Melithreptus lunatus) is a small to medium-sized bird native to eastern and southeastern Australia. It is known for its distinctive white nape patch and olive-green upperparts. This species is often found in eucalypt forests and woodlands, where it forages for nectar, insects, and small fruits. The White-naped Honeyeater is an agile and acrobatic bird, often seen darting among the foliage in search of food. It is known for its melodious and varied calls, adding to the soundscape of its woodland habitat. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential risks to its populations.
