Olive Backed Sunbird Rower's Bay

Olive Backed Sunbird
Tiny and active sunbird of forest edges, parks, and gardens; the most common urban sunbird throughout most of its range. Both sexes have a plain olive back, a yellow belly, and white tail edges that are flared out in flight. The male flashes an iridescent blue throat while the female has a yellow throat and eyebrow. Female Brown-throated Sunbird also has a yellow belly, but it is larger with a thicker bill and lacks the Olive-backed’s white tail patches. Only sunbird species in Australia.
Rower's Bay
Rower’s Bay is part of the 60 km first phase of the Round Island Route (RIR). Serving as a rest and gathering point for park users along the RIR, it features a boardwalk that brings visitors closer to the water, a lookout pavilion, swales and a wetland. The wetland around the boardwalk is planted with species that provide food and shelter for native wildlife that can be found in the area, such as the Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) and Copper-cheeked Frog (Hylarana labialis)
