Newcastle Birding Research

I'm planning to spend a couple of days birding in Newcastle. I'll hire a car and camp one or two nights.  Here is a map I've created with good birding spots.

Merewether Baths (Newcastle)

George and I went to Merewether Baths to do some photography on Sunday morning.  A lovely spot but too chilly for a dip.

Blackbutts Reserve (Newcastle)

George and I were ecstatic when this little baby koala emerged from it's mum's pouch.  It was very unexpected!  And set up some gorgeous photos.

Nobby Breakwater (Newcastle)

I went for a nice walk along the breakwater to stretch my body after crawling on my belly in the mud photographing birds.

Birding in Newcastle

I spent an idyllic day on my belly in the mud trying to get close enough to waders on the Newcastle mudflats.  Needless to say, I got very dirty indeed but it was well worth it.  Photographing birds requires so much patience, but it can feel so rewarding when you get the shot.
