About an hour north of Sydney on the Central Coast, a beautiful area where, during short excursions, I managed to find these beautiful smaller birds posing for the camera – Azure kingfisher, superb fairy wren and silvereye, I found in the Hunter Valley Gardens, the pied butcherbird, welcome swallow, noisy miner*, magpie lark, crested pigeon and an immature blue-faced honeyeater in the region around Umina Beach.
