Bellambi Lagoon, south coast, NSW on a sunny Saturday afternoon

Above we have a pair of Bulbuls near the entrance to the lagoon. These birds are imports that are doing quite well in the Wollongong area but are not considered a pest. As you can see by this photo the 30th of July 2022 was sunny with clear sky on the south coast of NSW, Australia. 

 Here we have Starlings looking for food. They are a common bird found in the Wollongong area and are quite common in Bellambi.

Here we have a female fairy wren. Notice the tail feather is brown.

Here we have a young male fairy wren. Notice the blue feather.

This is an adult male fairy wren in all his blue ready for courting. 

Silvereyes can be found at Bellambi Lagoon but not that easy to photograph being a small green and white bird with a white circle around its eyes. 

New Holland honeyeaters can be found at Bellambi lagoon, Corrimal Beach and Towradgi Beach. 

Bellambi Lagoon is one of the better places on the south coast of NSW to look for birds. It is a short walk from the station at both Corrimal and Bellambi. We will be getting out of winter soon and spring is an excellent time to go look for wildlife. Just be aware that magpies may swoop to get you away from their nest. On the other hand, New holland Honeyeaters and other species of bird are no problem at all.
