Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) - Songbird Virtuoso by Wild Ambience published on 2013-05-31T12:05:39Z It's winter here in Australia, and while most bird species are quieter this time of year, the master of songbirds, the Superb Lyrebird, is coming into breeding season and the males are revving up their spectacular songs and mimicry. Earlier this week I spent a day in the Watagans north of Sydney, a beautiful area of tall eucalypt forest and lyrebirds could be heard calling literally everywhere I stopped to listen. If you get a chance to head out in to the forests of south-east Australia at this time of year it truly is a marvelous experience to hear one up close.
