DaveO Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Oldfield, D. 2014. Phylidonyris novaehollandiae Latham, 1790 (Meliphagidae) New Holland Honeyeater. Fauna photographed in visible and ultraviolet light. http://www.ultravioletphotography.com/content/index.php?/topic/987-phylidonyris-novaehollandiae-new-holland-honeyeater/Maldon, Victoria, Australia3 August 2014Australian bird CommentThe New Holland Honeyeater is widely distributed in coastal south-eastern Australia and is a common visitor to gardens in Victoria. It’s feathers are streaked black and white with a yellow wing patch, seen here on a deceased specimen. My skills in UV photography do not extend to capturing images of live specimens.

Andrea B. Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I've always heard that some birds show UV patterns. Interesting to see one for reals.(Poor bird.) Link to comment
