Meliphaga lewinii, Lewin's Honeyeater

See eestikeelse nimeta meelind on Austraalia endeemne liik ning idaranniku metsade tavapärane ja söakas tegelane. Ta on eriti laialt levinud nektaririkastes elupaikades, ehk siis vihmametsades ja niisketes eukalüptimetsades, mängides seal olulist rolli tolmeldajana. See foto sai tehtud Lamingtoni rahvuspargis, Austraalias.

The Lewin's Honeyeater is an endemic species of Australia and a common, assertive feeder along its forested east coast, often dominating nectar-rich habitats. It is especially widespread in eastern rainforests and wet eucalyptus forests, where it plays an important role in pollination. This photo was taken in Lamington National Park.
