Tweed Bird Observers Outings

Our "Birds of the Tweed Valley" brochure (text extracts only), is available here, with some of our favourite bird watching localities and list of some species sighted, for your information.

While there are also many other great bird watching spots, a number are unavailable without landholders permission, and it is best to contact one of our local birdos to guide you.  Additional bird watching opportunities are also available at the many tourist accommodations that are located through-out the valley and nearby Gold Coast hinterland.
