Berowa Valley

On Sunday I had a walk part way down the Lyrebird Gully track in Berowa Valley north of Sydney. Despite the promising names of Lyrebird Track, Lyrebird Clearing, Lyrebird Waterfall and Lyrebird Caves, there were no Lyrebirds for me. However plenty of other birds to enjoy including ...

Olive Backed Oriole

Male Golden Whistler

Female Golden Whistler

Satin FlyCatcher, witha few droplets of water on him from a quick dip in the creek

Cockatoo slowly eating berries from a bush. He was taking his time on each berry getting just the part he wanted -  Im not sure if it was flesh or the kernel that he wanted.

Nice selection of birds WD. That would have been three new species for me.

Thanks BabyBirdWatcher - I put the FC on the Identification forum, it seems very difficult to distinguish the two species.

Perhaps the spelling on the signs should be changed to Liarbird in that particular area WD laugh - you'd think one would appear somewhere for you with all those areas named after one wouldn't you, inconsiderate birdy.  Jokes aside, doesn't look as though you went without some lovely feathered friends of a different species though, you have some spectacular shots there.  Particulary loving the Olive-backed Oriole with all those markings and colourations caught beautifully.  All fabulous, I would have been pretty happy after that walk anyway.

Thanks Elsie and AnnieJ - good walk and a few good photos, great day.

I laughed about those "liar"birds AnnieJ - you are right, very misleading
