Both Terry and Ralph want information about access-friendly birding sites.
I appreciate that birding can entail scrambling up mountains, or through
semi-jungle, or wading chest-deep through rising tides (as Ralph put it)
but this needn't be the case.
If you have access to a motor vehicle I can think of lots of great places
to go birding and not go more than a few metres from the car. It would be
fair to say that on the 2001 twitchathon our team recorded a very high
proportion of our 218 species without venturing more than 20 metres from
the car.
The Capertee Valley is a great place to bird without necessarily requiring
a lot of walking. A lot of the birds are seen along the roadsides (a
point that has the locals concerned that it is only a matter of time
before a birder becomes roadkill - and only have themselves to blame).
There is a well known wheel chair bound twitcher in Sydney that regular
birds the Capertee Valley.
Its worth a thought.
