Serendip Sanctuary, Victoria

10,000 Birds

You can easily get there via public transport by taking the train to Lara from either Geelong or Melbourne if you do not have access to a vehicle. Although Tawny Frogmouths are well camouflaged I did notice the shape of the tree was not quite right and there they were.

Hornsby Blue Gum Walk

10,000 Birds

On our trip to New South Wales in June we took the opportunity to return to one of the picturesque bush walks that is not too far from the city and easily reached by public transport. The train station at Hornsby is the start of the walk and there are shops nearby if you need supplies before you head off or on your return.

Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge, Honduras, Part 1

10,000 Birds

Our bus ride to the train that would take us to the boat launch led through monoculture pineapple plantations being sprayed with pesticides that were not a pretty sight, but the view of the sun breaking through the clouds over the mountains (like in the picture above) was inspiring.

Finding an Asian Openbill in Singapore-second ever record!

10,000 Birds

Arriving in Singapore we soon collected our bags and got ourselves a NETS card for travel on public transport and to also use in supermarkets.

In search of Rock Warblers

10,000 Birds

Their range is generally within 240 kilometres/150 miles of Sydney and you can access the areas quite easily by public transport. We had actually been in the Blue Mountains for a few days before we encountered them this year and we had been in the right habitat and the trails were generally free of hikers. Rock Warbler at my feet!

Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan

10,000 Birds

On the first trip in 2012 we used public transport to get there and the train conveniently gets you to Macarthur Square shopping centre and you can then get a bus that drops you right at the entrance to the park. On two of our trips to Sydney we have made a visit to the Australian Botanic Gardens at Mount Annan.
