Grey-fronted Honeyeater

Ptilotula plumula

The Grey-fronted Honeyeater, known scientifically as Ptilotula plumula, presents itself as a modestly adorned avian, yet with distinctive features that charm the discerning observer. This small honeyeater boasts a subtle yellow neck plume, elegantly framed by a black border. Its namesake grey frontal patch, though more pronounced in southern subspecies, may be less conspicuous in its northern counterparts.

Identification Tips

Upon encountering this species, one should note its olive-yellow crown and blackish lores. The upper parts of the bird are cloaked in olive grey, while the flight feathers take on a yellow-olive hue. The underparts are an understated off-white, adorned with faint striping. When identifying this bird, be mindful of its resemblance to the Yellow-tinted Honeyeater, particularly in areas where their ranges intersect.

Habitat

The Grey-fronted Honeyeater is a creature of the Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, a habitat that provides the seclusion and resources it requires.

Distribution

This bird is endemic to Australia, being found exclusively within this continent.

Similar Species

The Yellow-tinted Honeyeater is the most common species mistaken for the Grey-fronted Honeyeater. The latter can be distinguished by its grey lores and the broader yellow neck plume.

Conservation Status

The IUCN Red List categorizes the Grey-fronted Honeyeater as a species of Least Concern, indicating a stable population within its natural range.

What Our Birders Say

Loving it
I really enjoy being able to interact with other birders on this platform! This seems like a great way to meet other birders and find some new spots.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

My favourite app
As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me 😁

Great app for bird lovers
I love this app! It’s a wonderful way to track birding sessions, and also connect you with fellow birders. I also really like the unidentified bird section, it’s a great community tool to help figure out what a never-before-seen bird is!

Recommend for any bird watcher
Very wholesome app: I joined this app with a new interest in watching birds to help me find out what I was spotting. The community is very active in helping identify birds which is great and everyone is very kind so it’s just a nice wholesome community. I would definitely recommend this for any bird spotter 😃

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!
