Experience the dynamic presence of migratory birds at renowned locations such as Lake Clarendon (featuring the Black Falcon and Blue-winged Kookaburra), Lake Galletly, and Lake Lenore at the University of Queensland's Gatton campus (showcasing the Red-rumped Parrot and Magpie Goose). Discover the scenic beauty of Lake Dyer (home to the Plum-headed Finch and Caspian Tern) and the elusive Glossy Black Cockatoo in Glen Rock State Forest. Delve into the biodiversity of Lake Apex and Lake Freeman, encountering Latham’s Snipe, Spoonbills, Dotterels, and more.
