Birds of Australia’s Central Coast

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.

  • The noise miner is often confused with the common Mynah but, while the common mynah is a member of the starling family, the noisy miner is a honey-eater.  They so aggressively defend their territory that other birds are often attacked and driven away completely from that area
