New Holland Honeyeater
The New Holland Honeyeater is usually seen feeding on the nectar of blossoming trees and on small flying insects. For the latter, it will flit from its tree branch to catch the insect in mid-air, then come to a micro-second halt while it reverses its flight to return to its tree.
