Dobroyd Head is one of the headlands that juts out into Sydney Harbour, on Australia’s east coast. The walking track leading around Dobroyd Head is part of the Manly to Spit Bridge Trail. It offers plenty of bird life and gorgeous views.

When taking this picture, I was at Fairlight Lookout on Dobroyd Head, looking north east across the harbour towards Manly. On the other side of Manly is the Pacific Ocean. Next stop Fiji and then the United States.

This pretty little bird is a New Holland Honeyeater, its white ear patch tousled by the breeze:
