Each night of the festival we ran a bird list. The first night it was led by @Worldwidebirder, the second night by @ramit_singal and the third night by Tonia Cochran and @CatMYoung.
The total bird species seen over the festival was 85.
Thank you to everyone who contributed

[Catherine Young @CatMYoung]

Full house to see @firstdogonmoon and @teamswiftparrot at #BrunyBirdFestival tonight! Sure most people were expecting @jonkudelka but the show must go on despite the pandemic and really I don't think anyone noticed anyway 🙃

Falling into bed at the end of another fantastic day at #BrunyBirdFestival. Congratulations to the organisers, volunteers and festival partners Bruny Island Environmental Network, Birdlife Tasmania and Inala nature tours. Another massively successful year!!

[Clare Hawkins @Ottercivet]

Another lovely day at @BirdBruny chatting & listening to talks, calls & the sea - eg Ramit Singal on how to record bird calls, Paul Brooks on how to ID about 1000 albatross & related species around Tasmania, & finally, @teamswiftparrot’s excessively difficult bird anatomy quiz…

[Bruny Island Bird Festival @BirdBruny]

Ramit Singal led an incredible dawn chorus soundscape tour at Inala this morning and those who got out of bed so early were rewarded with two Collared Sparrowhawks chasing Yellow Wattlebirds for about an hour right in front of them - Just amazing!
