What are the best times to spot native birds in the Sutherland Shire?

Early mornings and late afternoons are the prime times for birdwatching in the Sutherland Shire. During these hours, many species are most active, making it easier to spot them. • In particular, spring and summer are fantastic seasons for birdwatching, as many migratory birds return and nesting activity increases. You'll notice an array of colorful plumage and lively calls filling the air. • Visiting local parks like the Royal National Park or even smaller reserves like the Coonong Creek Reserve can provide great opportunities, especially if you bring along some binoculars to catch those fleeting moments.
