Australian Birdlife

Figbird in fine voice at Shoalhaven Heads, NSW, Australia

 Short and Sweet plays at the Phoenix Theatre,                  Coniston, NSW, Australia 

In the play The Rose the flowering plant stands for many things. It is a romance of sorts and a haunting. Do come along and see it live. 

Penelope Murphy and Jasmin Sojai give a grand performance as Kat and Joan. They are two women determined to work out the meaning of the rose.

A ghost played by Tom Hadley might stand a chance of getting what he wants before he moves on. 

  

Masked Plover chick on the move!

 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.
