Welcome

Welcome to Illawarra Birders, a bird watching club based in the Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and Shoalhaven council regions in, New South Wales, Australia.

Illawarra Birders offers bird walks spanning from the southern end of the Royal National Park to Kiama and from the escarpment to the coast. The area covers many habitats from bushland, wetlands, rainforest, heathlands and coastal habitats.

There have been 440 bird species recorded in the Illawarra.

The Club was founded in 2010 and has over 120 members. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at Coniston Community Centre and have Activities ranging from ½ day to full day walks, regional birding camps in NSW and Interstate.

Our aims are to promote bird watching as a leisure activity, and to support the conservation of Australian birds and their habitat.
