Manilla Bird Route No 9 Borah Reserve, NSW Australia

Borah Reserve is 6.5 km form Tarpoly Reserve. Cross ramp at southern end of Tarpoly reserve, cross 2 more ramps to enter Borah Reserve. Pleasant walk to Borah Creek to the east and a great spot for bird observations and seeing the Australian wildlife. Tamworth Birdwatchers have recorded at least 149 birds for  the  general  area. The Regent Honeyeater has been seen here and Turquoise Parrot is regularly recorded here. Old Growth Trees at Borah Reserve
 

In NSW Australia, the regent honeyeater is listed as endangered  and the Turquoise Parrot as vulnerable in the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The Turquoise Parrot is often seen here feeding on the ground and  the old  eucalyptus trees with their hollows can provide them with nesting sites. When the eucalyptus trees are flowering is a good time to look amongst the blossom, for the Regent Honeyeater, other honeyeaters and small birds. Borah creek  provides good watering spot for birds and Australian wildlife from the adjoining eucalyptus  woodland and forest areas, sit  quietly by the creek to observe finches, honeyeaters and Australian wildlife watering at the creek.      No facilities.
