Campbell Park, Canberra

10,000 Birds

As you first walk down the paths (or even park) the dominant species is not a bird but Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and lots of them. It wasn’t long before I saw my first family of Superb Fairy-wrens as well as a very noisy Willie Wagtail. First was a family of fast-moving Silvereyes and a Spotted Pardalote.

Lake Eacham, Mt Hypipamee and Mount Molloy

10,000 Birds

This huge member of the Australian robin family is really tame in this carpark, making it probably the easiest place n the world to see the species (other than the Tableland it is only found in New Guinea). These attractive birds are quite the handsomest members of their family in Australia, and were just the thing to lift my mood.
