Birds of Mont Annan Botanical Gardens

Mont Annan (near Sydney)is quite new botanical garden founded in 1986. Over the past fifteen years, the bird population has been monitored. 76 different species were observed, including the red capped robin, which was thought extinct from the area. I was able to spend the morning in the gardens. The guide was Dannis, who knew everything about the birds, trees and plants in the area.
