Top 40 Birds in Sydney - A Guide for Birdwatching Enthusiasts

If you are a birdwatching enthusiast visiting Sydney and looking to spot a variety of birds in Sydney without a specialised tour, this guide is for you.

Sydney is home to 365 species of birds. Some are much more ubiquitous than others. This guide introduces 40 species of birds that you can spot on your travels. I include tips on where to see each species, and at the end of the post, I give some more details on birdwatching hotspots in Sydney.

Sulphur-crested Cockatoo

Latin name: Cacatua galerita
Size: 44–55 cm
Distribution: Australia, New Guinea, some Indonesian islands

The most conspicuous bird in Sydney is the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. You’ll often see them in the city, in the Royal Botanic Gardens and Centennial Park. Their harsh, loud call is usually the first giveaway of their presence in the area. They are fun birds to watch as they fool around with each other, hang upside down from the light poles, or peel bits of plaster from heritage-listed buildings.

If you are as fond of parrots as I am, head to my guide to spotting parrots in Sydney for more images and details on where to find different species of parrots in and around Sydney.

Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo

Latin name: Zanda funerea
Size: 55-65 cm
Distribution: South-east Australia

Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos are magnificent birds. Larger than Sulphur-crested cockatoos, they are also much more discerning about their preferred habitat. They like wooded areas with old trees that produce big enough hollows for these large birds to nest.

There is a good population of black cockatoos in Centennial Park, where they like to feed on the nuts of casuarina trees. Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos travel in noisy flocks, so they are not difficult to spot, particularly in the area near the Paddington Gate.

Males can be distinguished by the red ring around the eye and the dark beak, as in the featured image above this post.

Little Corella

Latin name: Cacatua sanguinea
Size: 35–41 cm
Distribution: Australia and New Guinea

Little Corellas are becoming increasingly common in the city. They are often found foraging in large flocks feeding on the ground, especially early in the mornings and late afternoons. When they feed in the trees, they tend to drop lots of branches and discarded seed pods to the ground, so you can easily tell when they are in the area.

Some of the most reliable places to see Corellas in Sydney are the grassy patches, like the campgrounds in Royal and Kur-rin-gai Chase National Parks and the Blue Mountains.

Galah

Latin name: Eolophus roseicapilla
Size: 35cm
Endemic to mainland Australia

Galah, also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo, is the most common parrot in Australia and its numbers are increasing in response to land clearing. Like the Corellas, Galah used to be confined to the dry open areas in the interior of the country, and now it can be found even along the coast, including the urban areas.

Galahs are common in the suburbs and in most of the birdwatching hotspots I list at the end of the post.

Rainbow Lorikeet

Rainbow lorikeet: Trichoglossus moluccanus
Size: 25 to 30 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Rainbow Lorikeet is one of the most strikingly colourful and abundant birds in Sydney. They have a bright blue head and belly, a green back, wings, and tail, a striking orange-yellow breast and a vivid red-orange beak.

They are bold birds and will often feed on flowering plants in close proximity to people. And if you leave your balcony door open long enough, some might just hop inside in search of food.

You’ll see Rainbow lorikeets throughout Sydney without looking for them.

Australian King Parrot

Parrots in Australia - King parrot — King parrot

Latin name: Alisterus scapularis
Size: 43 cm
Endemic to Australia

An elusive parrot of the dense forest, the Australian King Parrot will not be as easy to spot as the other species. It prefers to stay within the confines of the forest, where it feeds on seeds and fruit in the trees. It even flies below the treetops, which makes it harder to observe meaningfully.

By far, the best place in Sydney to see King Parrot is Dangar Island. This small island on the Hawkesbury River has a large breeding population of King parrots, and they are quite easy to spot there.

Even better, there are some unusual yellow-coloured male King Parrots on the island. Experts believe this is due to a genetic condition known as Leucism, in which there is a partial loss of pigmentation resulting in pale or white feathers, depending on the other pigments present.

Crimson Rosella

Latin name: Platycercus elegans
Size: 36 cm
Endemic to Australia

Another stunningly coloured parrot in Sydney is the Crimson Rosella. They are quite common in forested areas of Sydney. You can see them in the Blue Mountains, at Mt Annan Botanic Gardens and Royal National Park.

The suburbs adjacent to Royal National Park (Helensborough & Ottford) are also good places to look for Crimson Rosellas. They can often be seen on the ground feeding on seeds in small flocks.

Juvenile Crimson rosellas look like an entirely different species with their striking blotchy plumage of greens, reds, and blues. I’ve never seen juveniles in Sydney, but they were very abundant at Green Patch camping area in Jarvis Bay.

Tip: If you want to see several species of parrots and a few kookaburras at close range, check out breakfast with the birds at Palm Beach B&B.

Variegated Fairy-wren

Latin name: Malurus lamberti
Size: 14-15 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Variegated Fairy-wren is a stunning little bird, especially the males, during the breeding season when their plumage turns a vibrant mix of blue, black, and chestnut. These wrens are social birds, often seen in small groups flitting through the undergrowth and dense shrubs.

They are not as common in Sydney as the Superb fairy-wren because they haven’t adapted quite as well to urban habitats. The best place to see them is Royal National Park.

Superb Fairywren

Latin name: Malurus cyaneus
Size: 14 cm
Endemic to Australia

One of the most common beautiful small birds in Sydney, Superb Fairy-wrens can be found in most patches of habitat in Sydney, particularly along the coast. As the name suggests, the males look striking during the breeding season, sporting vibrant, iridescent blue and black plumage on their heads, backs, and throats. Their chirpy calls and constant movement make them fun birds to watch.

Southern Emu-wren

Latin name: Stipiturus malachurus
Size: 19 cm (tail 10-13 cm)
Endemic to Australia

Here is a bird that would get the serious birders excited. Emu-wrens are much more uncommon than fairywrens. Looking nothing like an emu, the wren is less than 20cm long, with the tail accounting for more than half of that. The tail of the emu-wren has only six feathers, and it is these feathers that give the bird its name. They are loose and coarse in structure, like the feathers of the emu.

They are challenging birds to spot but look (and listen) for them in the coastal heath along the Watamolla to Curracurrong Falls walking track in Royal National Park.

Spotted Pardalote

Latin name: Pardalotus punctatus
Size: 8-10 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Spotted Pardalote is a tiny, jewel-like bird with striking spotted patterns on its wings and head. It took me a very long time to spot one. And when I did, it was a small flock of pardalotes traveling together with some Red-browed finches in Heathcote National Park.

These gorgeous birds are some of the smallest in Australia, about 10 cm from head to tail, and dare I say, one of the prettiest.

Another good place to see the Spotted Pardalote is the Northern Beaches, particularly Irrawong Reserve in North Narrabeen and Warriewood Wetlands.

Beautiful Firetail

Latin name: Stagonopleura bella
Size: 10-13 cm
Endemic to Australia

True to its name, the Beautiful Firetail is a striking bird with a vibrant red rump and tail. These birds are often found in heathlands and forest edges, where they feed on seeds and insects. Watching Beautiful Firetails forage is a delightful experience, thanks to their vivid colouring and energetic movements.

In my experience, Royal National Park, especially the Curra Moors trail, is the best place to see them.

Red-browed Finch

Latin name: Neochmia temporalis
Size: 11-12 cm
Endemic to Australia

Not as striking as the Beautiful Firetail, the Red-browed Finch has a bright red eyebrow and rump. These finches are commonly seen in grasslands and along forest edges.

Good spots to see them are the Bicentennial Park and Royal and Heathcote National Parks.

Pilotbird

Latin name: Pycnoptilus floccosus
Size: 18 cm
Endemic to south-eastern Australia

The Pilotbird is another species for serious birdwatchers. With predominantly dark brown plumage, this secretive ground-dwelling bird is famous not for its looks but for its uniqueness.

The Pilotbird is the only bird of its type (the only species in its genus), and it is found only in south-eastern Australia. Add to this the bird’s secretive nature, and you’ve got a birdwatcher’s must-see.

They are more often heard than seen, but I did see them on Wattamolla to Little Marley Beach trail in Royal National Park and on Kangaroo Creek.

Rock Warbler

Latin name: Origma solitaria
Size: 14 cm
Endemic to NSW

The Rock Warbler is the only endemic bird of New South Wales. Small and unassuming, they are fun birds to encounter.

Sometimes, you might sit at the edge of a cliff in Royal National Park, and a Rock warbler would hop up from somewhere under the cliff. You just don’t expect a bird to appear from the 60-meter drop over the cliff’s edge. They often seem to appear out of nowhere, which makes them hard to photograph!

Royal National Park is a good place to see the Rockwarbler. They are particularly common along the Coast Track between Bundeena and Ottford. You can find details of the trails that make in the Coast Track in my guide to Royal National Park.

Yellow-tufted Honeyeater

Latin name: Lichenostomus melanops
Size: 17-23 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Yellow-tufted Honeyeater is a brightly coloured bird with distinctive yellow tufts on its cheeks. They are often found in open forests and woodlands, feeding on nectar from flowering plants. Their loud, clear calls and energetic behaviour make them easy to spot and hear.

Royal and Heathcote National Parks are both good spots for finding this bright honeyeater.

New Holland Honeyeater

Latin name: Phylidonyris novaehollandiae
Size: 18 cm
Endemic to Australia

The one species you’ll have no trouble spotting along the coast in Royal National Park is the New Holland Honeyeater. It is an active and conspicuous bird with striking black, white, and yellow plumage. They are often seen feeding on nectar from flowering plants or sitting on top of bushes along the coastal trails.

Eastern Spinebill

Latin name: Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris
Size: 15 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Eastern Spinebill is a fairly common bird around Sydney. This small, slender honeyeater with striking black, white, and chestnut plumage is easily recognizable by its long, fine, curved bill. Spinebills are often seen hovering around flowers, feeding on nectar.

They occasionally visit gardens, but more often, they prefer thicker vegetation like heath, forests and woodlands. Royal and Heathcote National Parks are good spots for seeing spinebills, particularly the fire trail between Garrawarra Farm and Otford train station. More details in my guide to Palm Jungle trail that begins at Otford station and runs past Garrawarra Farm.

Chestnut-rumped Heathwren

Latin name: Hylacola pyrrhopygia
Size: 14 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Chestnut-rumped Heathwren is a small, elusive bird often found in dense heathland and forest undergrowth. Their distinctive chestnut rump and melodious, warbling song are key identifying features. Listen for their calls and watch for their quick movements through the shrubbery.

This species is not often seen, and the only place I have seen them was on a coastal trail in Royal National Park.

Fan-tailed Cuckoo

Latin name: Cacomantis flabelliformis
Size: 25-27
Distribution: Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu

The Fan-tailed Cuckoo is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive fan-shaped tail marked with white spots. You can often hear their loud, trilling call with a grasshopper-like chirp echoing through the forests. They are usually found in woodland and forest habitats, where they lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species.

A good place to see the Fan-tailed cuckoo is Royal National Park.

Eastern Whipbird

Latin name: Psophodes olivaceus
Size: 26-30 cm
Endemic to Australia

You will hear the loud, distinctive call of the Eastern Whipbird well before you spot the bird itself. Its call sounds like a whip cracking followed by a sharp “choo” sound.

The birds themselves are often found in dense undergrowth and rainforest areas. Spotting them can be challenging due to their secretive nature, but their unique calls make them easy to identify.

I found the fire trails just below Otford train station to be a good place to spot Whipbirds and a few other species. But the best place to see whipbirds in Sydney is Warriewood Wetlands in the Northern Beaches.

Australian Golden Whistler

Male Golden whistler at Sydney Olympic Park — Golden whistler in Bicentennial Park

Latin name: Pachycephala pectorali
Size: 16-18 cm
Endemic to Australia

The (male) golden whistler is a striking songbird with a beautiful fluty call. Found across eucalypt forests, woodlands, mangroves, and gardens, this bird is an energetic forager feeding on insects, sikers and occasional berries. They are solitary birds and like to forage between mid adn upper canopy level.

A good place to look for the Golden whistler is the Bicentennial Park which has all the habitat types this species prefers.

Eastern Yellow Robin

Species name: Eopsaltria australis
Size: 15-16 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Eastern Yellow Robin is an instant crowd-pleaser. Known for its curious and confident nature, this bird might approach closely to investigate its surroundings. It hunts by patiently waiting on low branches or perching sideways low on a tree trunk and then swiftly diving to the ground to catch its meal.

You can spot the Eastern Yellow Robin in most habitat types, particularly near water sources. A good place to see them is the Cliff Track in Royal National Park.

Superb Lyrebird

birds in sydney -lyrebird — Superb lyrebird

Latin name: Menura novaehollandiae
Size: 86 cm – 1 m
Endemic to Australia

If you have one Australian bird on your bucket list, it’s probably the Superb Lyrebird. Known for its extraordinary mimicry, the male Lyrebird can imitate not only the calls of other bird species but also a wide range of mechanical sounds, such as chainsaws, camera shutters, and car alarms. This incredible talent is part of their courtship display, where the male also fans out his impressive tail feathers, resembling a lyre, and performs a mesmerizing song to attract a mate.

Lyrebirds are usually found in moist forests, often scratching in the leaf litter, searching for food. Lady Carrington Drive in Royal National Park is a good place to see them, either around Audley or at the southern end of the road. Another great place to see them is Minnamurra Rainforest Centre.

Australian Logrunner

Latin name: Orthonyx temminckii
Size: 19 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Logrunner is another secretive, ground-dwelling bird found in the dense forests of Royal National Park. These birds have a striking appearance with a combination of brown, black, and white plumage. Females are particularly colourful with their orange throats. Long-runners are active birds and fun to observe.

They use their long legs and sturdy tails to balance themselves as they rustle in the undergrowth, flicking aside leaf litter and debris on the forest floor in search of insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates.

Finding a Log runner is no mean task, and I’ve only seen them at the southern end of Lady Carrington Drive. Due to their preference for thick undergrowth, they are notoriously difficult birds to photograph. So I’m including a stock image above to show what these lovely birds look like.

White-bellied Sea Eagle

Latin name: Icthyophaga leucogaster
Size: 90 cm with 2.2 meter wingspan
Distribution: Australia, Southeast Asia, India, Sri Lanka

The White-bellied Sea Eagle is a magnificent bird of prey that you might spot soaring along the coast or over large bodies of water. Look for their striking white belly and dark wings. These eagles feed on fish and other aquatic prey, and you can often see them riding the currents above the coastal cliffs at Royal and Kur-rin-gai Chase National Park.

Their enormous nests are easily distinguished by their size. Sea eagles return to the same nest each year and add to the existing structure if it’s been damaged by the winds.

Osprey

Latin name: Pandion haliaetus
Size: 60 cm with 1.8 meter wingspan
Distribution: All continents except Antarctica

Ospreys are smaller than the sea eagles but much larger than falcons and kestrels. They are distinguished from the sea eagles by their dark upperparts and a characteristic dark eye stripe that runs from their beak through their eyes.

Ospreys are primarily fish-eaters and can be seen flying over water, scanning for prey. Sydney’s Northern Beaches, particularly around Long Reef, are your bet for spotting an osprey. Once you locate the bird, spend some time watching it. If you are lucky, you’ll see ospreys diving for fish in the ocean.

Peregrine Falcon

Latin name: Falco peregrinus
Size: 34 to 58 cm with the wingspan of 74 to 120 cm
Distribution: All continents, apart from the polar regions

Peregrine falcons, one of the fastest birds in the world, can be seen soaring above cliffs and open areas along Sydney’s coastline. Any coastal walk will give you a chance of spotting them. Coogee Beach area and Royal National Park are good places to spot them.

We once watched a Peregrine falcon hunting cicadas from the cliffs near the Little Marley beach in Royal. We spent quite a bit of time watching the bird snatching cicadas from the air and returning to the same rocky perch to eat them. Other good areas for spotting Peregrine falcons are the coastal cliffs at Long Reef on the Northern Beaches and Malabar Headland in the east.

Nankeen Kestrel

Latin name: Falco cenchroides
Size: 28 to 35 cm with a wingspan of 66 to 78 cm
Distribution: Australia and New Guinea

Another coastal cliff dweller is the Nankeen Kestrel – a small, elegant falcon. Their rusty-brown plumage and distinctive hovering flight make them easy to identify. They primarily feed on insects, small mammals, and birds.

You can see the kestrels anywhere along Sydney’s coastline. But one of the best and most scenic places to see them is the Royal National Park coastal trails. Another good spot is Long Reef on the Northern Beaches.

Black-shouldered Kite

Latin name: Elanus axillaris
Size: 35 cm with a wingspan of 80-100 cm
Distribution: Endemic to Australia

Another handsome raptor in Sydney is the Black-shouldered kite. Snow-white with black shoulders and piercing eyes, it’s one of my favourite birds in Sydney.

The Bicentennial Park is a good place to see them. If you spot one hunting, thatch where it lands with its catch. The bird is likely to return to the same or nearby perch after each hunting attempt.

Azure Kingfisher

Latin name: Ceyx azureus
Size: 17-19 cm
Distribution: Australia and New Guinea

The Azure Kingfisher is a stunning bird with vibrant blue and orange plumage. You can often find them along rivers, creeks, and other bodies of water within the park. They are expert fishers, diving into the water to catch their prey.

Look for kingfishers along freshwater rivers and streams. An almost guaranteed spot is the Hacking River at Audley in Royal National Park. As with most birds, early morning and late afternoon are good times to look for them, perched on vegetation long the river banks.

Laughing Kookaburra

Latin name: Dacelo novaeguineae
Size: 41-47
Endemic to Australia

The Laughing Kookaburra is one of the most iconic Australian birds in Sydney. These birds are known for their distinctive, hearty, laugh-like call. Often, you’ll hear several birds calling to each other, and the cacophony of laughter they create is a quintessential sound of the Australian bush.

The largest members of the kingfisher family, kookaburras, are often found perched on tree branches, scanning the ground for prey such as large insects, small reptiles, and even small mammals.

You’ll see and hear kookaburras in the suburbs, but if you want an almost guaranteed sighting, head to Centennial Park.

Tawny Frogmouth

Latin name: Podargus strigoides
Size: 34-53
Endemic to Australia

Frogmouths, often mistaken for owls, are masters of camouflage with their mottled grey and brown plumage. They are nocturnal birds and can be found perched motionless on tree branches during the day, blending perfectly with their surroundings. Their distinguishing features are wide, frog-like mouths, which are bright yellow inside.

During the day, Tawny Frogmouths roost in trees where they are practically indistinguishable from the branches.

Tawny Frogmouths are common in Sydney, and you can often spot them in the suburbs. A walk along the back streets of Kirribilli, for example, on the northern side of Sydney Harbour Bridge, is likely to turn up a few frogmouths.

Red-necked Avocet

Latin name: Recurvirostra novaehollandiae
Size: 43–45 cm
Endemic to Australia

The Red-necked Avocet is a beautiful and dainty wader. These birds are typically found in coastal wetlands, mudflats, and estuaries, where they can find their food. They prefer shallow waters with plenty of mud and sandbanks, where they feed by sweeping their upturned bills side-to-side in shallow water, searching for aquatic insects, crustaceans, and small invertebrates.

One of the best places to see avocets in Sydney is the Bicentennial Park, part of Sydney Olympic Park. There are several patches of suitable habitat in the park, with Waterbird Refuge being the most popular with avocets.

Black-winged Stilt

Latin name: Himantopus leucocephalus
Size: 36 cm
Distribution: Australasia

The Australasian species of this attractive bird is known as Pied stilt. In many ways similar to the avocet, the stilt is wader and prefers to live in the coastal wetlands, mudflats, and estuaries, where they feed on a diet of crustaceans and aquatic insects.

Unlike the avocets, the black-winged stilts are not migratory and can be observed all year round. The Waterbird Refuge in Bicentennial Park is a great place to see these birds in Sydney.

White-faced Heron

Latin name: Egretta novaehollandiae
Size: 60 to 70 cm
Distribution: Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand

One of the most commonly encountered herons in Sydney is the White-faced Heron. It is a nice-looking wading bird typically found around wetlands, estuaries, and other waterways, where they feed on a variety of aquatic prey, including fish, frogs, and insects.

Bicentennial Park is a good place to see this species, as are the rocky shelves along Sydney’s coastline. You can even see them in the suburbs near water where they can often be seen hunting skinks in the grass.

Black swan

Latin name: Cygnus atratus
Size: 110-142 cm
Endemic to Australia

A striking swan with all-black plumage contrasted with a bright red bill. Native to Australia, this species lives in lakes, rivers, and wetlands and thrives in both freshwater and brackish environments. Black Swans are highly social, often observed in pairs or flocks. During the breeding season, black swans are monogamous, often forming lifelong pair bonds.

Good places to see Black Swans near the city are Centennial Park and Bicentennial Park.

Australian Pelican

Latin name: Pelecanus conspicillatus
Size: 152-188 cm with a wingspan of 2.3 to 2.6 m
Distribution: Australia, New Guinea, Fiji

A common sight in the bays across Sydney pelicans are imposing birds. They swim with regal postures, and in flight, they remind me of pterodactyls. These large birds inhabit wetlands, rivers, lakes, and coastal waters, favouring areas abundant in fish. Their feeding behaviour includes cooperative hunting, often driving fish into shallow waters.

A reliable place to see pelicans in Sydney is the Waterbird Refuge in Sydney Olympic Park. If you’d like to see the pelicans closer to the city, you’ll find them in Centennial Park and around the Fish Markets in Glebe.

Wandering Albatross

Once you’ve explored terrestrial birdwatching hotspots in Sydney, why not head out to sea? Pelagic nature tours from Sydney usually turn up several species of Albatross including the magnificent Wandering Albatross known for its exceptional wingspan, the largest of any bird, reaching up to 3.5 meters.

Feeding primarily on squid and fish, it forages across immense expanses, coming to land only to breed. The species nests on remote sub-Antarctic islands, engaging in elaborate courtship displays that reflect its long-lived and monogamous nature.

Birdwatching Spots in and around Sydney

Centennial Park – a 15-minute drive or 25-minute bus ride from the city centre, Centennial Park, with its ponds and large old trees, is an excellent place to see a variety of birds in Sydney. The park is home to a variety of water birds and parrots, including Yellow-tailed black cockatoos and forest birds.

Bicentennial Park – a 30-minute train ride from the city centre, Bicentennial Park is part of Sydney Olympic Park. The Waterbird Refuge at the part offers tidal habitat for several types of waders, including the Black-winged stilt and Red-necked avocet. The area around the bird hide is good for Splendid fairy-wrens, Golden whistlers, and Red-browed finches.

Dangar Island – a small island on the Hawkesbury River, Dangar is one of the best places in Sydney to see several species of parrots. It is also where you can spot the unusually coloured King parrots, spotting yellow and red plumage.

Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan – further west, Mount Annan botanic garden takes a bit more effort to get to. You can drive there from the city in about an hour. Public transport takes twice as long. The park is one of the best birdwatching locations in Sydney. This is the only place in Sydney i have seen Swift parrots on their winter migration from Tasmania.

Royal National Park is by far the most scenic birdwatching spot in Sydney and my favourite national park. You can reach Royal in about an hour either by driving or by train. This is the place to see the more elusive species like the Sothern emu-wren, Pilot bird, Logrunner, Rock warbler, Chestnut-rumped heathwren, and Lyrebird. In fact you can see most of the birds in this guide in Royal National Park.

Heathcote National Park – located across the highway from Royal National Park, Heathcote has a similar habitat and, therefore, a similar bird community to Royal. This park lacks coastal views but it compensates with a population of koalas!

Long Reef – tucked away between the more popular swimming beaches in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Long Reef is by far the best place to see Ospreys in Sydney. If you are lucky, you’ll watch them dive for fish into the surf. Long Reef is also a good spot for seeing migratory shorebirds.

Warriewood Wetlands – also on the Northern Beaches, not far from Long Reef, Warriewood Wetlands is a little hidden gem known mostly to local residents and Sydney birdwatchers. Fed by three creeks (Narrabeen, Fern, and Mullet Creeks) and flowing downstream into Narrabeen Lagoon, this 26-hectare freshwater wetland is the largest remaining sand plain wetland in the northern Sydney area. It is a good spot to see a variety of birds. See my post on spotting birds in Warriewood Wetlands for more details.

Pelagic Tour – to see seabirds, including Black-browed and Wandering albatros, book yourself on the pelagic tour. These tours book out quickly so make sure to book it as far in advance as you can.
