Birdwatching in the Tablelands is world class, with more than 327 bird species recorded here, including 12 endemic species. The Mareeba wetlands and the Nyleta wetlands are marsh habitats while elsewhere are riverine, woodland, rainforest and grassland habitats. Between the warmer months of October and April many migrant species arrive from Papua New Guinea, including buff-breasted paradise kingfishers and channel-billed cuckoos.
