Dubbo Reginal Botanic Gardens Day 5 of our road trip to Dubbo

Today the 5th day of our road trip to Dubbo and it is a lovely cool misty rainy day, this will be fun with all my camera gear but we are ready. Lindy and I spent 2 years planning this trip so we plan on making the most of every minute of everyday. We had heard that the Shoyoen Japanese Gardens at Dubbo were one of the best in Australia, so we just had to put it on our To Do List.

The Third And Fourth Days Of Our Road Trip To Dubbo

The Third And Fourth Days Of Our Road Trip To Dubbo

We were having two full days at Taronga Western Plains Zoo so we decided on our first day we would do all the guided tours first, leaving us to wander freely around the Zoo on the second day. I think for me the highlight was feeding the Tigers This was a private feed where a few people went into a special area that exposed the tigers. They came right up to us and we were able to feed them holding their food with tongs. When they jumped up on the wire fence to take the food they were huge, but surprisingly...

Juvenile Blue-Faced Honeyeater

Juvenile Blue-Faced Honeyeater

This Blue-faced honeyeater wasn't too impressed with the rain. I have witnessed siblings feeding  and watching over each other when the parents are away from them. The juvenile's face is olive-green, their bib is grey. They are very playful and even though they are known be  aggressive, I have never seen this behavior in these birds. They are always chased by the more territorial birds. They forage in foliage, blossoms and fruit
