ABOUT :
Now in its 12th year, the Annual Lyrebird Count is an initiative by a group of local volunteers committed to monitoring lyrebird activity in the Cape Liptrap Coastal Park. This area of South Gippsland is home to mainland Australia's southernmost colony of lyrebirds.
The Superb Lyrebird's song is somewhat famous. About 80% of the song consists of expert mimicry, joined together in a rousing medley. Sounds can include anything heard in the bird's immediate surroundings, such as chainsaws, car engines, dog barks and local native birds.
