Hattah-Kulkyne National Park birds

Blue-faced Honeyeater

Our holiday in Victoria

September 2007

One of the main reasons for visiting the Hattah-Kulkyne National Park last year was to do a few hours of birding in one of my favourite places. With large tracts of mallee scrub, the national park is an excellent place to see a large number of honeyeaters, especially when the trees are in flower.

Along the Murray River and around the various lakes the large stands of River Red Gums also attract a good range of honeyeaters. While we were having lunch on the bank of Lake Hattah I was pleased to get some good photos of the Blue-faced Honeyeater.
