Close view of the nest of White-bearded Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae). Also known as the New Holland Honeyeater it is common in southern South Australia from the south east to the Eyre Peninsula. It can also be found in the suburbs particularly where native plants such as grevilleas and banksias or other nectar producing plants are grown. It lays two or three eggs during its main breeding season which is June to January. The birds are usually found in large groups and can drive off larger birds from a feeding area.
