What do we know about the bird population in Port Campbell National Park?

Most of us know about Port Campbell as a scenic coast with limestone formations that would make a good photograph.

We have seen these limestone formations near the Great Ocean Road on our desktop background. But, there is much more in Port Campbell than the cliffs, rock stacks, gorges, arches, and blow-holes.

A wide variety of birds thrive on the fragile ecosystem in Port Campbell National Park including honeyeaters, southern emu, fairy wrens, swamp harriers, Rufous bristlebird, peregrine falcons, pelicans, ducks, black swans and egrets.

These birds are found in the grasslands and health lands of Port Campbell. Along with these, Australasian gannets, wandering albatrosses and short-tailed shearwaters live out at sea. Penguins are also seen near the shore line.
