Birdwatching

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. Sea-Eagles and Ospreys nest here and Brolgas can often be seen performing their courtship dance.

Our logo bird - The White-bellied Sea Eagle - soars majestically; the Rose-crowned Fruit Dove
is parrot-bright in its colours; and the Brolgas dance like nobody is watching.
