In Outback NSW, Menindee Lakes is brimming with water following the heavy winter rains and thousands of waterbirds are migrating to its shores. While on Lord Howe Island, Summer marks the height of seabird activity with 14 species of seabirds breeding there in their hundreds of thousands.
Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said, “NSW also has some of Australia’s rarest and most beautiful birdlife. Capertee Valley near Lithgow has one of the highest concentrations of bird species in the Southern Hemisphere.”
“It’s not until you see an impressive flock of native birds or that majestic rare sighting that you really appreciate how amazing birdwatching can be. No matter which bird watching destination travellers choose, they are bound to glimpse some truly spectacular birds at inland and coastal locations across NSW,” Ms Chipchase said.
NSW offers novice and experienced birdwatchers, or ‘twitchers’ as they are known, a variety of environments to see local and migratory birdlife. The State’s coastal and inland wetlands, tropical rainforest, Outback lakes, wooded bushland, coastline and islands are home to some of Australia’s rarest and largest concentration of bird species.
