Bird life around Eden on the NSW, South Coast.
Azure Kingfisher @ Lake Curalo, Eden
I recently travelled to Eden on the NSW South Coast. The visit was two-fold, a) I had never before spent much time exploring this beautiful area. Previously it was simply a passing through and stopping for coffee or such like. b) On this occasion I was determined to spend a few days exploring this beautiful area. Highlights, first and fore-most included the fantastic ‘Birdlife’ around Lake Curalo, 2nd was our visit to Green Cape Lighthouse plus Boydtown, a village on Twofold Bay and Aslings Beach, 3rd was the marvelous meals we enjoyed at the Hotel Australasia, 4th my wife enjoyed the Eden golf course and beautiful hospitality extended to her by the ladies playing golf. Lastly I must mention the enjoyable stay we had at the Eden Gateway Holiday Park.
A highlight was finally seeing and capturing a pic of an Azure Kingfisher.
Below are photographs of some of the bird species enjoyed, mostly in the Lake Curalo areas.
