  I thought "Why would you want to bird watch at an airport? That's like, the worst place for bird watching."

  Interestingly, as I live and do my birding mainly on the Mid North Coast of NSW in the Bellingen-Dorrigo area, only two species in your video are not commonly found here. The Torresian crow--the corvids here are little ravens, and the red-backed fairy wren. The drongos and bee-eaters are seasonal, but regular visitors, otherwise the populations are very similar. We do have some great remnant Gondwana rainforest to supply exotic birds but you may have some of these species not too far away. Love this sort of video.

  Eastern Rosella is eating borage. It's a beak not a bill.

• 
  @birdwatchingse-qld22533 күн бұрын

  Ah that's great, thank you. I need to expand my plant knowledge. I'd argue that the Moorhen has a bill rather than a beak (Cornell's Birds of the World and Morcombe's agree but I'm sure other guides use 'beak'). Birding usage of bill vs beak is often mixed up. Eg Long-billed Corella, IMO they have a beak. Anyway, no matter what term we use, as long as we know what each of us is talking about, that's the main thing 🙂

  Nice that so many are happy to cohabit with the planes and road traffic! There are some Superb fairy wrens living no more than 5-10 metres from Kelvin Grove Road at Enoggera Creek. Red backed fairy wrens there also, just a little further (100m down the creek) along.

  Yeah, when I was visited this site I was thinking "as if there would be any birds in a small reserve surrounded by roads and airport!", little did I know, haha. Superb Fairywrens are a bit more daring than Red-backs. I worry about them being so close to the road. I hope they survive 💚

  @suzettewoolley53972 күн бұрын

  @birdwatchingse-qld2253 No you are right there are not many spots around Springfield now with all the developments. However, I was thinking more past the Sunshine Coast and on towards Gympie and further on. When I came back to Cairns after being overseas for a few years I remember waking up early and hearing all of our amazing birdlife. Australia's birdlife is different, loud and truly remarkable and I will never tire of seeing and hearing the vast array. Just finished reading the novel "Croc Country" which is set in the Northern Territory and although the plot is basic it does describe the birdlife. The Australian National Geographic had a Gouldian Finch on its cover( a few years ago) talking about how with encroaching developments and industry this truly beautiful bird may not be around one day. How sad for future generations.
