Birdwatching Tours
A Winged Journey Through Queensland’s Vibrant Skies
Queensland is nothing short of a birdwatcher’s paradise—a realm where the skies shimmer with vibrant feathers and the air hums with melodic calls. Home to over 680 bird species, more than any other Australian state, Queensland is a sanctuary of avian life, offering a diverse range of birds that flit, soar, and sing across its unique and varied landscapes. From the lush, misty rainforests to the wide, open wetlands and coastal beaches, this region offers a front-row seat to nature’s spectacular avian performance.
Our eco tours provide the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in this rich world of Australian birdlife. Whether you're tracking the elusive Albert’s Lyrebird in the fog-drenched forests, marvelling at the dazzling bowerbirds in the woodlands, or spotting shorebirds like Latham’s Snipe and the Eastern Curlew as they gracefully navigate the tranquil wetlands, there’s always something new to discover around every corner.
A Year-Round Birdwatching Haven
Queensland is a year-round birdwatching haven, home to both endemic and migratory species. Its subtropical rainforests are alive with rare and remarkable birds like the radiant Regent Bowerbird, the elusive Eastern Whipbird, and the striking Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo. Other rare species include the Regent Honeyeater, Coxen's Fig-Parrot, and the vulnerable Swift Parrot.
The woodlands are frequented by the beautiful Glossy Black Cockatoo, Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, and Diamond Firetail, each adding to the region’s remarkable avian diversity. Meanwhile, the serene wetlands attract a variety of waterfowl, including the Pacific Black Duck, Great Crested Grebe, and the graceful Whiskered Tern.
Raptors in the Queensland Sky
For birdwatchers with a passion for raptors, Queensland is a thrilling destination. The skies above are regularly graced by majestic Peregrine Falcons, powerful Australian Kestrels, soaring Wedge-Tailed Eagles, and agile, Black-shouldered Kites. Bird enthusiasts can also seek out the mighty Powerful Owl, Australia’s largest owl species, whose haunting call echoes through the forests at night.
Coastal Regions and Grasslands
Coastal regions and grasslands provide perfect opportunities to spot species like Banded Lapwings, Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes, and the colourful Noisy Pitta, alongside seasonal migratory species like Latham’s Snipe and the Eastern Curlew.
Endangered species such as the Black-breasted Buttonquail also call Queensland home, making each birdwatching adventure even more rewarding.
