New England Plateau
Picturesque New England |
With three very special sites to be visited from Armidale, north, east and west and driving along Thunderbolts Way on the way up, and overnighting in dear little Nundle on the return journey, this trip is superbly designed to take in the best of the New England Plateau's prolific birds and glorious countryside.
To be encountered are Little Lorikeets and Musk Lorikeets, alongside Hooded Robins, flocks of Diamond Firetails, Tree Swallow filtering the skies of insects and Noisy Friarbirds carolling in delight at the profusion of blossoms.
Musk Lorikeet guarding the Nest |
Rains have been good to these velveteen hills and the trees are fragrant with blossom and heavy foliage. We will visit the western cattle districts that that hold Regent Honeyeaters in treed habitat. And of course the World Heritage New England National Park hung with many species of moss in ancient forest trees. Robins should follow these altitudes in summer, always a delightful encounter.
North are lagoons for our water birds that fly those extreme distances and a good walk is planned to view Musk Ducks, Shovellers, Brown Goshawk; and waders by November.
Nundle township has a beaut pub where we will dine and some may stay, with so much TLC charm you will not want to leave. But the birds will draw you on for a final day of fabulous birdwatching, our common denominator with gay abandon.
