HOT SPOT FOR BIRDING

ACCORDING to eBird Australia, a total of 170 bird species have been spotted at the park.

So it’s definitely worth taking your binoculars, or leaving the dog at home, to quietly make your way through the trails.

Some of the more difficult birds to spot include the Torresian kingfisher, the tawny frogmouth (pictured), glossyblack cockatoo, the buff-banded rail and even the mighty wedge-tailed eagle.

Keeping handy a field guide to Australian birds always makes identifying that “little brown bird” that much easier when you’re out and about.
