Terranora, NSW (Apr, 2010)

At Tweed Heads West behind the aptly named Seagulls Club and just past the (also aptly named) Bird Bay Oyster Farm is the start of a very pleasant and easy grade walk alongside the Terranora Broadwater.

I've strolled along here a number of times and always found a good variety of bird life present which in this instance included this Fan-tailed Cuckoo.
