Backyard Birds
We are still spending more time in our backyards as Covid limits our activities. On New South Wales South coast there still seem to be more birds in the townships than normal. There are no records to confirm these impressions but there do seem to be more bush birds around.
This large Pittosporum in flower is swarming with life. A count of 60 Rainbow Lorikeets, countless bees, Little Wattlebirds, Lewin’s Honeyeaters and Eastern Spinebills.
The Olive-backed Oreole is an occasional visitor to the block, currently this bird is joining the dawn chorus with its distinctive call.
Another occasional visitor present at this time, two White-browed Scrubwrens have taken up residence.
