Hi Ben, all
Green Cape, Nadgee then down to Mallacoota, Gypsy Point and Genoa is a wonderful part of the world, hard to summarise in one email as it is so diverse.
There is lots of information from other birders online – see the attached as one example only.
Dawn at the heath behind Green Cape itself will give you Ground Parrot, Tawny-crowned Honeyeater, Brush Bronzewing, fieldwrens and emuwrens – all
while listening to lyrebirds from adjacent gullies. And you can spend all day at the lookout, watching the seas for seabirds. A scope would help, but all I had were good binos and a steady hand and saw lots.

Subject: Re: [Canberrabirds] Birding trip advice - Eden/Mallacoota
Hi Ben,
I took this video from the Cape three years ago, on a day when a storm had generated a huge swell. There was quite a lot of pelagic birds to be seen. I visited again more recently on a calm day and there were very few, so it depends on
the conditions. You can see quite a few species in the heath and forest near the lighthouse. Others from COG have had a lot more experience in the area than me, so I'd be curious to hear their thoughts. We stayed in Eden.

I am planning a birding road trip south of Eden over the coming weeks and am seeking advice as to specifically Green Cape and Mallacoota. I am looking at the eBird hotspots. But
would greatly appreciate some first hand understanding, as I have never been there myself, let alone birded there.
