Bird numbers in Cairns Botanic Gardens
A popular tourist attraction in Cairns is the Cairns Botanic Gardens (CBG) Precinct, and every Tuesday morning through the year, a birdwatching walk is led by volunteer local bird experts from Cairns Birders. More than 50 visitors have been recorded for some of the tours, and the average on any given day is 14. Many visitors are from overseas and represent almost every continent.
