Description

Timber Creek Airstrip is a great spot to look for a range of finch species including Star Finch and Pictorella Mannikin. Gouldian Finch has also been occasionally seen here. Oriental Plover is a chance on the strip itself late in the year. In addition a good range of other bush birds are reported regularly.

The site is best birded by walking around the strip perimeter fence on the fence firebreak track.
