Warrnambool | A City for Living

Birdlife Australia: Coastal Birdwatching Walk

Join BirdLife Australia for a guided birdwatching walk along Warrnambool's coastline.

Discover the birds that call our coastal environments home, from beach-nesting species such as the Hooded Plover, to migratory shorebirds that travel incredible distances between feeding and breeding grounds in the northern hemisphere. Learn how to identify difference species, observe their behaviours, and understand the important habitats they depend on.

Whether you're an experienced birder or just starting out, this is a great opportunity to slow down, look a little closer and discover the remarkable birdlife living right on our doorstep. 

Bookings are essential and places are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot early. 

Depending on tides the exact meeting location will be confirmed and emailed to registered attendees a few days before the event.

As this is an outdoor event, some areas may have uneven ground. Please come prepared with comfortable, sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, including a hat and sunscreen, so you can fully enjoy the experience.

All children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
