Best times for watching birds; pre-dawn (4.30am)dawn and dusk.
Best Places: Estuary foreshores, open woodland, dense forest, waterfields, lakes.
Remember: a lot of birds are 'heard' instead of being seen, you have to learn their 'songs' to recognise them, especially those that call at night, or go into their habitats, and still yourself, to see them.

Bird logs are recommended, these are lists of birds you may expect to find in certain areas and allow for 'counts' of how many, whether adult, juvenile or chick, and at what times they were seen.

Bird Photos;
This is my
, a fancy photo sharing thing.Eremaea Birds; sends me emails (subscription) each week on where birds have been seen. This is a way to chart the migratory birds return to our shores, and also a means to spot where other eagles are. Their data base is extensive and allows for searches of specific birds.  A free birding atlas to which anyone can contribute. |

If you would like to receive EagleCam updates from time to time, send an email to eagleca...@yahoo.com.au
We will hopefully soon have some exciting news about a live web stream where everyone will be able to watch the eagles live on the internet. In the meantime, pop into the Discovery Centre to see the eagles live. The Birds Australia Discovery Centre is open at weekends from 10am until 4pm and is situated inside the Newington Armory grounds at Sydney Olympic Park. Access by road is from Jamieson Street where there is a car park at the armory wharf alongside Parramatta River. The entrance to the armory is through the main gates next to the wharf cranes. The Discovery Centre is situated on the left hand side of the main pathway into the armory, an approximate 500m walk from the wharf.
