Central Australia is a vast region and home to many bird species, including migratory birds that are passing through. Often attracted to water sources such as waterholes, gorges and even sewerage ponds, there are plenty of opportunities for the avid bird enthusiats to indulge their passion for bird watching.

As well as Bird watching in Alice Springs (check out our Alice Springs Bird Index), there are plenty of opportunities along both the East and West MacDonnell Ranges, Kunoth Bore and Santa Teresa Road (north and south of Alice Springs), just to name a few locations where bird watchers can enjoy their passion.

Following is our selection of bird species that have been sighted around various locations in Central Australia (we have also included birds sighted in Alice Springs). We like to thank the many contributors, who have shared their insights and photographs to the class Aves…
