Eastern Bristlebird

Eastern Bristlebird

Last week the Milton Ulladulla Birdwatching Group (MUD) fortnightly field trip was to Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay. A very profitable morning with a lot of interesting birds to see. My highlight was a first sighting and photograph of an Eastern Bristlebird. This was after hearing a number of calls, in fact we may have heard as many as eight birds through the morning.

Usually very shy and hidden within the low heath around Jervis Bay, this Eastern Bristlebird helpfully took to the path to provide this excellent photo opportunity.
