Booderee Botanic Gardens Bird Walk
Grade and Distance: - Up to 4km (2hrs) - easy grade, mostly sealed paths, some stairs, a lot of shade
Vegetation Types - rainforest, heath, woodland
What to look for:
With lots of sealed paths and good bush tracks, this is a great place for all ages and both beginner and experienced birders. Freckled Ducks have been seen on Lake McKenzie and Sooty Owls have been spotted at night, but the residents are the main attraction. The species list for the gardens is long and varied, including many honeyeaters and thornbills, Grey and Rufous Fantails, Cicadabirds, King-Parrots, Gang-gang, Yellow-tailed and Glossy Black Cockatoos, Leaden Flycatchers, Australasian and Hoary-headed Grebes, Hardheads, Chestnut Teals, Rufous and Golden Whistlers, Brown Gerygones, Olive-backed Orioles and the Eastern Koels in summer.
