Breeding habitat of Little penguins and Short-tailed shearwaters, Bruny Island Neck Game Reserve, Tasmania

The Bruny Island Neck Game Reserve is an important habitat for native wildlife. Boardwalks and viewing platforms enable to observe Short-tailed shearwaters and Little penguins (also known as fairy penguins). You can see these remarkable birds returning to their burrows in the sand dunes at dusk—little penguins making their way up the beach in tight groups and the shearwaters gliding in from the sea. The Reserve has an interpretation board and during peak viewing times there is a Parks and Wildlife interpretation guide present at dusk. The best viewing period is during the warmer months—September to February.
