The Shoalhaven on the NSW south coast is home to an amazing variety of birds and is a mecca for birdwatchers.
BirdLife Shoalhaven promotes a better understanding of our birds and works tirelessly to ensure their survival.





Our Birds

The Shoalhaven is home to an amazing array of birds, with habitats including heath, woodland, riverine, rainforest, wetland, beach, estuary, rock platforms, cliffs and many urban and suburban gardens. Some birdwatchers would say that the variety of parrot species is the greatest attraction, while others would point to the rare and threatened species we are trying to protect, or the migratory waders and shorebirds, or the rarities that seem to be attracted to Lake Wollumboola and Shoalhaven Heads.

Birdata, BirdLife Australia's national bird monitoring and citizen science initiative, has recorded over 360 species of birds for the Shoalhaven area. Because of the nature of the data collection, some of the bird identification on the list might not be totally accurate. The lists of birds (as at March 2019) can be downloaded in a variety of formats from the following links -
