Descrizione

Callum Brae Nature Reserve is a hidden gem for birdwatchers, offering a diverse range of habitats that support an impressive variety of bird species throughout the year. Predominantly made up of Yellow Box–Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland, the reserve also features expansive grasslands, and a network of small dams. This combination of ecosystems creates ideal conditions for both resident and migratory birds (including summer migrants and honeyeater migrations).

With over 160 bird species recorded, Callum Brae is a premier location for birdwatching. Notable species include Gang-gang Cockatoo, Eastern Rosella, Superb Fairywren, Grey Fantail, and rarer birds such as the Painted Buttonquail, Pied Butcherbird, Swift Parrot, and the Diamond Firetail. The area is also home to a variety of honeyeater and thornbill species throughout most of the year, and is a refuge for threatened and declining woodland bird species in the ACT.
