The grounds of the large old country house that the happy couple had hired for the wedding were stunning. There were extensive formal gardens but also orchards of lemon, orange and grapefruit trees. Birds were everywhere including several pairs of New Holland Honeyeaters. These proved frustratingly difficult to see and photograph as they bombed around the formal gardens feeding on nectar. They're great little birds. Very charismatic and vocal.
Fallen oranges also attracted a female type Satin Bowerbird but even though I searched quite extensively I couldn't find a male or its bower.
The garden also hosted a pair of Blue-faced Honeyeaters that appeared to be nest building in the crown of a tall palm.
Needless to say the wedding was a wonderful family affair and it was a fantastic couple of days before we returned to Chiltern.
