Old Growth Trees at Borah Reserve |
|
In NSW Australia, the regent honeyeater
is listed as endangered and the Turquoise Parrot as vulnerable in
the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The Turquoise Parrot
is often seen here feeding on the ground and the old
eucalyptus trees with their hollows can provide them with nesting sites.
When the eucalyptus trees are flowering is a good time to look amongst
the blossom, for the Regent Honeyeater, other honeyeaters and small birds.
Borah creek provides good watering spot for birds and Australian wildlife from the adjoining
eucalyptus woodland and forest areas, sit quietly by the
creek to observe finches, honeyeaters and Australian wildlife watering
at the
creek. No facilities.
