The Crescent Honeyeater (Phylidonyris pyrrhopterus) is a passerine bird of the honeyeater family Meliphagidae native to eastern Australia and Tasmania. A member of the genus Phylidonyris, it is most closely related to the common New Holland Honeyeater (P. novaehollandiae) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/636...
Well you make it easy on me when you post species found in Tasmania. Again, just saw my first crescent of the season this last week.
