Seal Rocks, NSW
Seal Rocks is about one tank of gasoline north of Sydney and worth every ironic emission it took to reach our eco-cabin get-away.
The plot was surrounded with flowering gum and alive with Noisy Friarbirds, the odd Little Friarbird (lifer), Red Wattlebirds and Rainbow Lorikeets. That night about 150 Friarbirds flew north, over our cabin, to roost.
Noisy Friarbird or Leatherhead Philemon corniculatus
