Soldiers Point

Big seas had forced the birds to the front of the rock shelf where there was little cover, so it was impossible for me to get close in the hour I had given myself. But there were good numbers of birds, including the first Double Banded Plover I’ve seen this summer. No sign of the Wandering Tattlers that have been reported up and down this part of the coast but from the top Grey-tailed Tattler, Pacific Golden Plover, Curlew Sandpiper, Ruddy Turnstone, Red-necked Stint.

Toukley

I haven’t seen Rainbow Lorikeets at the birdbath, although there are plenty in the flowering trees in the area. Bird Cam picked up these visitors this morning.

Budgewoi track

This Leaden Flycatcher seemed to be taking the wings off the cicada before feeding it to her hungry offspring.

Bird Cam

My BirdCam arrived, and I set it up beside the birdbath. Still a bit of experimentation and adjusting to do, but I think it will be fun.
