The photo gallery is divided into sections based on where the bird is predominantly seen. This does not mean that the birds are not seen in other locations. For example some forest birds are sometimes seen in open paddocks (plains) and inland water birds are often seen on the coast especially where there is an estuary.

To view the birds click on the individual group below.
