Victoria is Australia’s second smallest state, but has a high biodiversity with 508 bird species recorded.
This is about 60% of Australia’s 850 bird species.
“eBird” has recorded 293 species observed [Aug 2026] in South Gippsland,
with the top eBirders recording around 200 species.
My photoswipe gallery now totals (108) species.
I haven’t been able to get out with my camera as much as I would like over the last three years. (with chemical poisoning effecting my nerves)
