BIRDLAND RETREAT BIRD LIFE

Birdwatching is fun and free and while there is always a presence, their numbers and species vary with the flowering seasons as both local & introduced plants and trees are critical for the birds’ diet and habitat. These are the most often seen ‘locals’ you can enjoy during your stay.

TIP: A camera at the ready is a good camera.
