Tasmanian Endemic birds on King Island



Tasmania has many bird species that are endemic, they can be found only in Tasmania, but it's interesting to note that tiny King Island has many of them.

The beauty of King Island from a bird lover's point of view is its size, and at the last count 188 different species and sub species could be found on such a small parcel of land.
King Island lies about 90 kms north of mainland tasmania and is approximately 65 kms long and 25 kms wide. Some of these endemic birds are displayed below.

King Island is officially globally recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA).

The above picture is a female Superb Fairy Wren Tasmanian Form (Elizabethae) endemic to King Island. She fell in love with herself, the image is actually of the mirror that she's showing off in.
