During the past several years Lake Joondalup has
been visited by up to three oriental honey buzzards.
These beautiful large raptors normally reside in Russia,
China and Japan, migrating down to South East Asia.
Bird watchers from all around Australia have visited
the area for the opportunity to see and photograph
these majestic birds. A prime viewing area to sight
these birds has been a large open area in the north
west of Lake Joondalup. Whilst looking for the honey
buzzards another twelve species of raptors have been
recorded. As a consequence the site, located off the
junction of Lakeside and Joondalup Drives, has been
given the name of “Raptor Ridge” by birdos.

Every one Enjoy your Christmas and weekend.
