Birds

Sweers is a birdwatchers paradise with nearly 100 species of birds recorded so far.

With no feral animals on the island, the birds are very tame and easy to study.

Bush Stone-curlews wander around the dining area at night and Bustards (Plain Turkey) are often seen during the day time.

The Rose-crowned Fruit Dove, which was previously unrecorded in this area, nests on the island and can often be seen near the Resort area.

Migratory Waders visit the island during the wet season and during the winter the Red-tailed Black Cockatoos visit the island.
