No, I don't live anywhere interesting or exciting -
just a small houseblock in Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast, SE Qld.
My home bird list is about 120, and includes
fly-overs, so I have such things as Black Swans, Black-necked Stork, and Pied
Oystercatcher included. I'm near the river, and obviously on a
flightpath. An occasional Pacific Black Duck or Great Egret lands
and feed on my footpath, and I have winter visitors from the hinterland
ranges. Have had a Striped Honeyeater overwinter in two drought
years, but was strangely excited by my first Lewin's Honeyeater last
year! A variety of raptors seem to be conducting natural control on
the exploding population of Spotted Turtledoves.
The hinterland is easily accessible, so we have a
great variety of habitat within an hour's drive. Not a bad area to
live.
