Birding in Tasmania

["Andrew Stafford" <>]

Hi Simon,

 

I visited Tasmania for the first time last year and found Dusky Robins were easy to find around the Tinderbox Peninsula. You were rather unlucky not to see them along the entrance road to Peter Murrell Nature Reserve. Another excellent place for Dusky Robins was the picnic area around the Waterworks Reservoir at Mount Wellington, where the birds were tame. This is also a great place for spotlighting - I found EB Bandicoots around the picnic grounds, Tasmanian Bettongs on the road in and best of all, a Masked Owl.

 

Good to see you getting into the seabirds in particular - as we say, real birders are seabirders!

 

Cheers, AS
