Manilla Bird Route No 7 Adams Reserve

Accessible from Borah Crossing to the south (11 kms) or from Borah Reserve to the north. This area contains good remnants of Grassy White Box Woodlands with a understorey of native shrubs such as Acacia deanei and Acacia decora. These shrubs provide an important habitat area for small birds such as Peaceful Doves and  finches which have been observed in abundance in this locality. Good bird watching (birding) spot.
These remnants of woodlands provide important habitat for some of the woodland bird species. For example the Peaceful Doves, often seen in this location are generally not observed in the cleared farming lands. It appears that Peaceful Doves are dependant on these woodland areas for their survival.  These eucalyptus woodlands have diversity of native Australian plants in their understorey and worthy of inspection. This area is  Travelling Stock Reserve and there are no facilities. Look for Zebra Finch, Double-barred Finch, Diamond Firetail Finch and Red-browed Finches.
