Anyone here for birdwatching? And maybe bird photography!

Anyone here for birdwatching? And maybe bird photography!

Hi, I know us birdwatchers can be pretty avid about what we do, so wondered if a thread for birdos could be a possibility. I’ve been birdwatching since I was 7 - my happiest memories from childhood are from Rotamah Island, when it was still owned by Birds Australia. I was a member, and one of my parents was allowed to accompany me to birdwatching weekends staying at the little house on the island. Happy days! 3 years ago I got a camera to take photos of birds. It’s my favourite thing to do. Here’s one I took near Bendigo of a New Holland Honeyeater, sorry the quality is severely downgraded by sharing here. What’s your favourite birdwatching place? Do you have a special place you go to watch birds? Please share!

Thanks for the advice @Former-Member

I do remember listening to the cassette tapes as a kid, I wondered if anyone had digitised then or something. I guess I’ll just have to get better at sneaky bird chasing 🙂

 Great discussion @Former-Member. I am a beginner to bird watching. Have seen a spotted Pardalote once. I recently went out to Risdon Brook Dam and got a few good photos. This one is a bit fuzzy but I'm happy to have spotted it!

Saw beautiful tiny New Holland Honeyeaters the other day and a friends house. She has a wonderful garden attracting lots of them.
