A lot of time and effort goes into the hide weekly, and in preparation for every hide session. This includes keeping the grasses mowed around the hide, keeping the baths full, watering plants, cleaning, selecting perches that look great, refreshing & cleaning perches, and making sure weeds are clipped so your photos have clean background as well as keeping an eye on what's coming in. There will be great sessions but please also be prepared for quiet sessions - it does happen.
Some of the birds that have been visiting the hide in Feb/March include Crested Pigeon, Peaceful Dove, Little Friarbird, White-winged Fairywren, Spotted Bowerbird, Purple-backed Fairywren, Willie Wagtail, White-plumed Honeyeater.
