SEPTEMBER 2012: This area is under threat from development adjacent to the Australian National Heritage Listed Royal National Park and Garrawarra State Conservation Area. If you want to help to save the unique area, please check out this site which includes a good history of the area at: www.otfordeco.com AND SUBMISSIONS SUPPORTING THE PROTECTION OF THIS ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREA CAN ALSO BE MADE AT: ops.org.au Here is this beautiful Australian native male bird, building it’s nest to attract the female of the species, (sorta like us humans). This bird was filmed in the 7d Hacking River Protected Environment Zone near Helensburgh in New South Wales. It is extremely rare to film the male satin bower bird building the nest. The area it is located in is in danger of being changed to allow development, industrial, residential, commercial, so this film may be the only time the world has a decent record of it’s nest building abilities within this area.
