Description


Entomyzon cyanotis
We thought it was time to revisit the Wollombi Tavern for lunch again, as our last visit was in 2013. I captured this bird’s portrait, as it was sitting on the handrail of the veranda.
These beautiful native birds and their families, love to share your T-bone steak or massive country style hamburger.
The Tavern is nothing like their natural habitat of open forests-LOL!
