Birding Tour Australia: Northern Territory – Alice Springs and Uluru Birding

This short birding tour around Alice Springs in the south of the Northern Territory of Australia also takes in the magnificent Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock). It is an ideal tour to combine with two of our other Australian tours because it fits in perfectly between our Birding Tour Western Australia: Southwest Australian Endemic Birds and Birding Tour Australia: Northern Territory – Top End Birding Tour. Combining all three of these short Australian birding tours will give you an excellent list of the birds of north, central, and western Australia, complete with a multitude of highly sought-after Australian endemic birds.

The striking Spinifex Pigeon is one of our targets on this trip.

As with all our other tours this is a small-group tour. The majority of our tour will be based in Alice Springs, though we will also venture further afield to base ourselves near Uluru so we are well placed to enjoy this important feature. We will have a wide range of target birds while here, and will focus on the region’s specials such as Spinifex Pigeon, Spinifexbird, Rufous-crowned Emu-wren, Dusky Grasswren, Rufous Grasswren, Banded Whiteface, Grey Honeyeater, Western Bowerbird, Black-breasted Buzzard, Diamond Dove, Grey-headed Honeyeater, Black Honeyeater, Pied Honeyeater, Slaty-backed Thornbill, White-backed Swallow, Crested Bellbird, Black-eared Cuckoo, Budgerigar, Bourke’s Parrot, Mulga Parrot, Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, Spotted Harrier, Little Eagle, Wedge-tailed Eagle, Purple-backed Fairywren, Splendid Fairywren, White-winged Fairywren, Red-browed Pardalote, and Painted Finch.

Splendid Fairywren is one of many spectacular species found around Alice Springs.
