Trees and plants attract birds so it was a good choice to go birding at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens in Hobart, Tasmania. It is a short drive from the hotel we spent the night at – the Customs House in Salamanca area of Hobart.

The gardens themselves were beautiful as one might expect.
There is a really cool hide overlooking the garden with stunning views over the river and city.
Our visit was in the late afternoon and found that birds were more easily seen up near the entrance of the gardens. Eastern Rosellas, Musk Lorikeets and Sulphur-crested Cockatoos were easily seen.
