EcoGipps Boasts 100+ Bird Sightings

Aug 14, 2020 | Icon and significant species

Over 120 bird species have been spotted in and around EcoGipps, from a possible 272 species local to the area.

We are always on the lookout for both new and familiar birds. EcoGipps is particularly excited to make sightings of Swift Parrots, a prattle of these beautiful parrots seen in the feature image. Swift Parrots are endangered in Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania and are listed as Critically Endangered nationally.

BirdLife Australia is leading the Woodland Birds for Biodiversity (WBfB) project, which aims to enhance the conservation of threatened and declining woodland birds, with their initial focus on the Swift Parrot and Regent Honeyeater. Projects such as this are crucial in the fight to save Australia’s threatened bird species. Browse through the full list of bird species sighted at EcoGipps to date (BELOW).
