CommentThis image shows a Western Spinebill feeding on a Banksia Coccinea, which is one of several Banksia species which grow in the coastal heathland of the south coast of WA. The banksia species here provide food for many honeyeaters, pollinators and honey possums and the coastal heathland is important habitat for many birds species. I have selected this particular image as it shows how well suited the spinebills curved beak is for feeding on the banksia flowers.
