ChirpCheck May 2026
Welcome back to ChirpCheck!
Here are my bird sightings for the month of May.
These are the different species of birds I have observed from my backyard in Tasmania, Australia during the month.
Birds are listed in no particular order and are stated if endemic to Tasmania, endangered in Tasmania or introduced to Tasmania. All photos are my own unless otherwise stated.
Donโt forget to check back next month and see what birds are being spotted.
And let me know what birds youโre seeing where you are or if youโre doing your own bird count this year.
Until next time,
Sue
