Neil Hawkins Park in Joondalup is less than half hour’s drive from Perth and offers excellent birding!

.

There’s something for everyone, whether you are interested in water birds frolicking on beautiful Lake Joondalup……………………………….

………………………………Pigeons & Kookaburras in the trees…………………………

…………………………..or a chance to see parrot species that aren’t native to Western Australia yet managed to end up here and flourish.  Rainbow Lorikeets are native to east coast Australia and Long-billed Corellas are native to the south & eastern coasts of Australia.  If you aren’t planning a visit to these areas it’s nice to still be able to enjy these beautiful birds in the wild!

I really enjoyed watching the Corellas foraging in the grass and they weren’t afraid to let us come close!
