Birds of Wilsons Promontory


A three day stay on Wilsons Promontory on Victoria’s South East coast  in March 2012 proved to be rewarding in terms of birds sighted and photographed. We stayed just outside the national park at Limosa Rise, http://limosarise.com.au/, that turned out to be a great choice. They have three, excellent, self-catering cottages surrounded by native plantings that attracted many of the local bird species.

The national park is well known for its scenery, walking trails, rugged coastline, native animals and birds. Many of the walking tracks were just about to be re-opened following the floods of early 2011

The following are some of the birds photographed from the area.

Brown Thornbill

Grey Fantail

New Holland Honeyeater

Pacific Gull (Juvenile)

Silvereye

White-eared Honeyeater

Yellow Faced Honeyeater
