Cairns Birding Festival Talk Night
Backyard Birds – Birding Gems in Urban Cairns
You don’t have to travel to the world’s great wilderness areas to enjoy incredible birdlife. Some of Far North Queensland’s most remarkable birds can be found right here in suburban Cairns.
Join local birder Scott Ritchie for an engaging evening exploring the surprising diversity of birds that call urban Cairns home. As part of BirdLife Australia’s Backyard Birding initiative, Scott will share his favourite local birding locations, the species you can expect to see, and practical tips for discovering the hidden birdlife in your own neighbourhood.
Whether you’re an experienced birder or simply curious about the birds in your backyard, this talk is a great opportunity to learn more about the rich birdlife of the Cairns region.
