We live on a wildlife corridor joining large areas of forest to the south and north. The birds are at a peak now and breeding, especially the honeyeaters. This young Yellow-Tufted Honeyeater is having a little rest after hitting a window at warp speed. He flew off to join the others soon after the photo was taken. If you would like to see more small birds in your garden in the Ellalong area you can start planting more native shrubs to attract these little guys. The corridor needs all the help it can get. Small birds have disappeared from the cities - these corridors are the last stronghold for them.
