ChirpCheck April 2026

Welcome back to ChirpCheck!

Here are my bird sightings for the month of April

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.

Don’t forget to check back next month and see what birds are being spotted.

And let me know what birds you’re seeing where you are or if you’re doing your own bird count this year.

Until next time,

Sue
