Boddington is home to an impressive array of native birdlife throughout the region. Many bird species have made the Hotham River their home to rest, feed, and nest. Wander along the river between Lions Weir and Ranford Pool for excellent birdwatching opportunities.
The river foreshore offers excellent viewing opportunities, with birds often seen among the trees and open water. Early mornings and late afternoons are particularly rewarding times to spot activity along the riverbanks. Beyond the river, birdwatchers can also explore other locations, including the Boddington golf course, sports grounds, town reserves and nearby open areas.
All birdwatching sites are located within a short distance of the town centre, making it easy to enjoy multiple locations in a single visit.
Birdwatching in Boddington brochures are available from the Boddington Visitor Centre, helping visitors identify local species and plan their exploration of the area’s diverse bird habitats.
