Birds at Hazelbrook – 4 September 2026

I was visiting my sister and brother in law at Hazelbrook, and while there, I photographed some of the birds on their block.

The main bird I photographed was a male Satin Bowerbird that was at its bower. There were also at least two female Satin Bowerbirds nearby, but I did not get any good photos of them.

Here is the male and his bower –

Every morning, it inspects the bower, adjusting bits of it, and adding the odd stick.

A pair of Eastern Spinebills appeared. Here is one of them gathering nesting materials –

Back to the bower –

Here is a rather poor looking Sulphur Crested Cockatoo.

It probably has Beak and Feather disease.

The Satin Bowerbird was moving one of his prize objects – a blue bottle cap.
