It had been a long time since I had visited Emu Green Reserve at Emu Plains. Since the floods, the area is no as attractive as it once was. Also – some of the vegetation along the land has grown too high to see into the fields of the prison farm where raptors often hunt. So I don’t think it is as good as it once was. Here are some of the birds I saw –
Bell Miner
Red-browed Finch
Silvereye
Golden Whistler
Olive-backed Oriole
Grey Fantail
Nankeen Kestrel
New Holland Honeyeater
Lewin’s Honeyeater
Silvereye
This very distant raptor, perhaps juvenile White-bellied Sea Eagle, is being harassed by a Raven –
Superb Fairy-wren
Brown Goshawk
And being harassed by a Raven –
Satin Bowerbird
Galah
Australasian Figbird
