Birdwatching from cafes

I just mentioned to a friend on the
weekend how Regent Honeyeaters seem to like pubs and hotels. 

The freak Regent HE in Ocean Grove recently
was seen near the local watering hole - The Ocean Grove Hotel.

Last year, a Regent HE showed up in
Newstead in front of a hotel called the Whispering Gum.

Hi Carol,
              There's some great bird-watching
from several Double Bay
cafes, but how about BEER GARDEN lists.  The Mangrove at Broome is
a
favourite, the Pine Creek Hotel front veranda is good for Hooded Parrots,
the pub at Borroloola great for all kinds of action. Burswood's beer garden
in Perth overlooks a lagoon with plenty of waterbirds, including over twenty
Blue-billed ducks last time I was there.
                There are some
amazing reports on birding-aus from time to
time which can only have come from a beer garden or winery.

                    
                     Cheers
                    
                     
    Michael
