My birding highlights of
1999?
The lists that have been appearing are a
bit daunting, but in the belief that birding, like charity, begins at home, I
would have to list my recent house move from the edge of Dubbo's CBD to the edge
of the city's residential area.
At the house near the CBD the only birds
to visit my garden were sparrows, starling and blackbirds. Now, at the
edge of town, and without even a garden to attract birds, I've had Peewits,
Magpies, Yellow-rumped Thornbills, Noisy Friarbirds, Red Wattlebirds, a
Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater, a couple of Eastern Rosellas an Australian Raven and a
Pied Butcherbird to visit!
Yep! This is definitely the biding
highlight of the year for me,
