The New Holland honeyeater has completed the family of fauna at the Rochester GrainCorp silos.

Artist Jimmy Dvate packed up the paints on Tuesday, October 29, after a total of five weeks working on the piece.

The honeyeater is now at home with the platypus, squirrel glider and azure kingfisher, which decorate the other silos at Ramsay St.

Mr Dvate painted all four of the pieces, and has transformed many walls, water tanks and silos, with his work found as far as France.

The Rochester GrainCorp silos are at 18 Ramsay St, Rochester.
