Whether you’re a keen bird watcher, photographer, nature-lover or complete novice, this tour is for you. You’ll be guided by a local expert, and it’s a great chance to see native birds in their own habitat.

Windsor Downs Nature Reserve is part of the critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland threatened ecological community. It’s a special part of Western Sydney, which currently has less than 6 per cent of woodlands remaining. People travel from all over the world to the Cumberland Plain Woodland to see some of our most beautiful and threatened bird species.

Go searching for the red-capped robin, little lorikeet and turquoise parrot, and marvel at the beauty of the eastern rosella, golden whistler and zebra finch. You’ll be enthralled by the interactions between birds and their local habitat. Find out about Cumberland Plain Woodland conservation programs and how you can help to look after these special birds.

We recommend bringing drinking water and wearing sun protection. Enclosed shoes are required. We suggest bringing binoculars if you have them.
