Sherwood Arboretum, Brisbane, bird watching information (map)
Sherwood arboretum is a small area that has been intensively birded for many years. The list includes over 160 species. It is known as a good place for crakes/rails and little bitterns, but none are not regular. The ponds and the river are the best place to spend your time (see guide below). A good place for beginners as 40 or more species can be easily seen in an hour. If you see anything rare or new, please email me and I will add it to the list – h.possingham@uq.edu.au .
