Thala's Bird List

Our current list of birds sighted within our grounds and along the beachfronts. The order of species follows the official Australian list (Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union) adopted by all Australian bird-watching societies. Some species such as Swifts and Terns may be seasonal.

Because of the wide range of habitats here at Thala, there will, almost certainly, be a large number of birds to add to this list.
