My dad lives at Old Bar and I spend a fair amount of time there. There is a
natural untouched reserve between Richardson St and the beach with a light
aircraft runway on the beach side is very good for bird watching. Many of
the small tracks 5-6 K's back on Old Bar/Taree Rd also very good. Best in
Spring. The present conditions are much colder and drier than normal for
this time of year.

Dear all

Visited Old Bar, few kilometres east of Taree, mid North coast, NSW,  last
Tuesday 30th May with Ann Mannion.  At Mud Bishop Reserve a few kms north of
Old Bar, we found quite a fw Bar-tailed Godwit, a couple of Whimbrel and a
Curlew on the mud, and in the trees at the reserve, a Drongo and Rose Robin,
Little and Scaly-breasted Lorikeets and Osprey, along with the usual
expected species.  Then driving south 5 or so kms to Saltwater Beach and
Wallabi Reserve, at the latter spot there is a huge fig tree at the end of
the track inland from the parking area and lagoon, and it was full of birds
- 2 Wompoo Pigeons, Regent and Satin Bowerbirds, Torresian Crow, Figbirds
and Green Catbirds. One Wompoo was sitting quietly in part sun and the other
feeding and making no sound.  I guess they'll be there for a while as
there's a great mass of fruit in the tree.
