Sea Change safety Cove Garden and Birdlife
The garden and surrounding bush
at Sea Change are home to a variety of birds that can easily be seen by
sitting quietly on the deck or in the garden
A
GREY SHRIKE–THRUSH often
visits the birdfeeder on the rear deck (its characteristic jock-widee call
can certainly be heard) and SUPERB FAIRY WRENS bustle in and out of the
shrubbery. The male has a bright blue crown, upper back and side of head,
except in winter when he is indistinguishable from the common brown female.
The Blue Gums below the entrance attract visits from noisy YELLOW-TAILED
BLACK COCKATOO in the spring which feast on the blossom.
YELLOW THROATED HONEY EATERS, with
their olive-green plumage and bright yellow throat, frequent the shrubs
at the front of the house, as do the even smaller BLACK-HEADED HONEYEATERS.
The birdbath in the rose garden at the frontof the house is a favourite
watering hole for several species, particularly in the late afternoon.
HONEY EATERS use it to clean their streaked back-and-white feathers and
yellow wing patches.
In Spring 2005 a pair of SPOTTED PARDALOTE chose the bottom of the Dahlia
bed at the side of the house, for a nest and to raise their young. YELLOW and LITTLE WATTLE BIRDS prefer
the taller Eucalypts on the edge of the property, as does the BLACK–FACED
CUCKOO SHRIKE, a handsome light grey bird with a black face, flight feathers
and tail.

CUCKOO SHRIKE, a handsome light grey bird with a black face, flight feathers

have the pristine beach to yourself except for the GULLS, PIED OYSTERCATCERS,
and a pair of tiny HOODED PLOVERS. Please keep to the waterline and don’t
disturb the plovers as they are a threatened species
